Maryland

From Judgepedia

At approximately 47,000 words (including annotations), the Maryland Constitution is much longer than the average length of a state constitution in the United States. It is the fourth constitution under which the state has been governed. Maryland's governor is unique in the United States as the office is vested with significant authority in budgeting. The legislature may not increase the governor's proposed budget expenditures. Unlike most other states, significant autonomy is granted to many of Maryland's counties.
