State amendments are not tracked well in most states. Constitutions are typically published online, with varying sources, formats and functionality; constitutional amendments, however, are not often clearly tracked. Below are some currently available resources for amendments in each state.
NOTE: Ballotpedia may also list some amendments. Some state legislatures offer databases of legislation that can be searched for constitutional amendments.
