South Carolina Constitution
Unannotated

DISCLAIMER

The South Carolina Legislative Council is offering access to the unannotated South Carolina Constitution on the Internet as a service to the public. The unannotated South Carolina Constitution on the General Assembly's website is now current through the 2023 session. The unannotated South Carolina Constitution, consisting only of Constitution text, numbering, history, and Editor’s notes may be copied from this website at the reader's expense and effort without need for permission.

The Legislative Council is unable to assist users of this service with legal questions. Also, legislative staff cannot respond to requests for legal advice or the application of the law to specific facts. Therefore, to understand and protect your legal rights, you should consult your own private lawyer regarding all legal questions.

While every effort was made to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the unannotated South Carolina Constitution available on the South Carolina General Assembly's website, the unannotated South Carolina Constitution is not official, and the state agencies preparing this website and the General Assembly are not responsible for any errors or omissions which may occur in these files. Only the current published volumes of the South Carolina Constitution Annotated and any pertinent acts and joint resolutions contain the official version.

Please note that the Legislative Council is not able to respond to individual inquiries regarding research or the features, format, or use of this website. However, you may notify the Legislative Services Agency at LSA@scstatehouse.gov regarding any apparent errors or omissions in content of Constitution sections on this website, in which case LSA will relay the information to appropriate staff members of the South Carolina Legislative Council for investigation.
