ARTICLE II - THE POWERS OF THE STATE

Ill. Const. (1970)

Turn this on and every word we wrote goes away. What is left is the state's own text.

Section 1

The legislative, executive and judicial branches are
separate. No branch shall exercise powers properly belonging
to another.
(Source: Illinois Constitution.)

Section 2

The enumeration in this Constitution of specified powers
and functions shall not be construed as a limitation of
powers of state government.
