Texas vs. the US: A Constitutional Showdown
Who Needs a Short Constitution Anyway?
Let’s talk about constitutions. Boring, right? Wrong! This is a showdown between the Lone Star State and the good ol’ US of A. We're talking amendments here, folks. Not your average, run-of-the-mill, “let’s-change-a-comma” kind of amendments. We're talking epic, constitution-shaking, “did-they-really-just-add-that?” kind of amendments.
Tip: Pause, then continue with fresh focus.

| Which Constitution Has More Amendments Texas Or Us |
Texas: The Amendment Champion (or Overachiever?)
Texas, the land of big hair, bigger hats, and even bigger egos, holds the record for the most constitutional amendments. It’s like they’re addicted to tweaking their rules. Every time there's a squirrel on their lawn, they amend the constitution. “No more squirrels in the backyard!” becomes an amendment. It’s absurd, but kind of fascinating.
Tip: Don’t rush — enjoy the read.
Imagine trying to read the entire Texas Constitution. It’s like reading War and Peace, but with more legalese and less character development. And don’t even get me started on the amendments. They're like those endless terms and conditions you never read but click "accept" anyway.
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
The US Constitution: The OG
On the other hand, we have the US Constitution. It’s like the cool, laid-back older sibling who doesn’t need to prove anything. It’s shorter, sweeter, and to the point. Sure, it’s been amended a few times (like, 27 times), but compared to Texas, it’s practically untouched.
Tip: Don’t just scroll to the end — the middle counts too.

The US Constitution is like that classic leather jacket. It’s been around forever, it looks good, and it doesn’t need a million patches to stay relevant.
So, who wins?
Well, that depends on what you value. Do you want a constitution that's as detailed as a tax form? Or do you prefer something concise and elegant? Texas wins on quantity, but the US takes the prize for quality.
