“Noble male with five points, he occupies a third of the width and height of the pictorial drawing, in the geographical center of the foreground. Standing with his head thrown far back, facing east, but with one eye on the audience, his forefeet firmly on the motto (Bennett, 2011)." This is what the state seal of 1863. The final state seal is a testament to the ever-changing face of Arizona as a prospector with fields adorns the back The strong and proud heritage is reflected in the constitution itself. the people who shaped the document In this essay, we will discuss the impact of the constitution on counties, municipalities, businesses, and schools. Arizona's constitution affects its counties in many ways; First, they must follow the generic design prescribed by the state constitution and statutes According to Section XII of the Arizona Constitution, it states that each county must have the following elected officials: sheriff, county attorney, recorder. , treasurer, assessor, superintendent of schools and at least three supervisors. Each of these positions serves a four-year term and each supervisor is nominated and elected by a district within the county. The state of Arizona has fifteen counties, all created during the territorial era, when cities were relatively small and far apart. Counties with populations over 500,000 can form a county charter to determine county laws, which helps strengthen county governments by allowing them to make their own decisions and not having to seek advice from the state legislature. Each county is governed differently depending on its size, each county brings with it its own challenges, but they must still stay true to the state constitution...... middle of paper ....... Arizonans therefore have an impact on the direction of the state based on positive results. Giving citizens their freedom of rights before becoming a state until now an established state ensures that people have endured challenges to reclaim the successes of abundance within their state.
