The Wyoming Constitution is the supreme governing document of the
U.S. state of
Wyoming. It was approved by a statewide vote of 6,272 to 1,923 on November 5, 1889. It was last amended in 2008. It was the first constitution in the
United States which explicitly gave
women the right to vote (though an earlier
New Jersey constitution gave women who owned property the right to vote because of an ambiguity in its text). The Wyoming state legislature also approved this with minor changes in 1896.
