NEW JERSEY PREAMBLE

Also note that the Preamble to the New Jersey State Constitution has, as far as I know, not changed since 1844. See the links below for the texts of 1844 and 1947 and the update of November 2020.

New Jersey Preamble: 1844 and 1947

New Jersey has had 3 State Constitutions: 1776, 1844, and 1947. Although many Amendments have been added over time, the Preamble has remained the same from the second Constitution of 1844 and the most recently recorded of 1947.
