About 90 percent of the document's length, as of 2020, is made up of its 948 amendments (for comparison, the 104 amendments to the Constitution of India form none of the latter's text, as they modify the main body's wording directly rather than being appended to it). About 75 percent of the amendments cover individual counties or cities, and some are so detailed as to deal with salaries of specific officials (e.g. Amendment 480 and the Greene County probate judge). As a result, Alabama has a very high number of constitutional officers, and the constitution makes it very difficult for residents of most counties to solve their own problems.
