Constitution of Indiana
=======================

Overview
========

The constitution of the state of Indiana is the collection of
fundamental principles upon which the state is governed. Indiana’s
constitution was established in 1851 and is composed of a preamble and
16 articles.

The resources set out below provide programmatic access to the
constitution, both in it's combined form and in it's individual
articles.

The API exposes archived versions of the constitution but the current
version can also be obtained by substituting ``current`` for *year* in
the url patterns below.

.. note::

   Currently, the API exposes articles for the ``current``
   constitution only, a 404 response will be returned if articles for
   previous versions are requested.


.. FIXME: This should contain an attributes section, but the
   attributes for this resource are pending a cleanup.
