The Oklahoma Constitution

The Constitution is split into articles and each article is split into sections. These comprise the provisions of the Constitution—which protect rights, structure the government, and grant and limit the powers of the legislature, executive, and judiciary.

Invoking the guidance of Almighty God, in order to secure and perpetuate the blessing of liberty; to secure just and rightful government; to promote our mutual welfare and happiness, we, the people of the State of Oklahoma, do ordain and establish this Constitution.
