The Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is the fundamental governing document of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, one of the 50 individual state governments that make up the United States of America. As a member of the Massachusetts Constitutional Convention of 1779, John Adams was the document's principal author. Voters approved the document on June 15, 1780. It became effective on October 25, 1780, and is among the oldest functioning written constitutions in continuous effect in the world. (The constitutions of San Marino and Vermont have sections still in force that are older.) It was also the first constitution anywhere to be created by a convention called for that purpose rather than by a legislative body.

  • La constitution de Massachusetts (Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) est un document constitutionnel organisant les pouvoirs du Massachusetts, un État du nord-est des États-Unis. Elle fut rédigée par John Adams, Samuel Adams et James Bowdoin. Elle fut achevée le 15 juin 1780 et demeure la plus ancienne constitution écrite du monde encore en vigueur à ce jour (après la Constitution de Saint-Marin, rédigée en 1600) ; elle servit de modèle à la Constitution des États-Unis. Elle comprend un préambule et est divisée en chapitres, sections et articles. (fr)

  • Die Verfassung von Massachusetts (Constitution of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts) ist die Verfassung des US-Bundesstaates Massachusetts. Sie wurde 1780 – vier Jahre nach der Unabhängigkeitserklärung der Vereinigten Staaten – verabschiedet und ist in geänderter Form noch heute in Kraft. Damit ist sie eine der ältesten Verfassungen (im modernen Sinn) der Welt. Zudem ist sie die erste Verfassung überhaupt, über die eine betroffene Bevölkerung selbst abstimmte. (de)
