Maryland judicial system
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.

Maryland: Backers of a proposed referendum in the state of Maryland, in 2009 have filed a brief over the invalidation of a significant number of signatures on the referendum. In 2009 the Howard County Board of Elections threw out roughly 87% of all signatures based on an interpretation of a Maryland Court of Appeals decision that led them to believe that signatures are invalid if they are not exact matches to signatures used for voter registration. The proponents filed a lawsuit in the Federal District Court that failed in October of 2009.[1]
