The law, in its own words

Washington

Wash. Const.

Not read yet: Washington

Where we would read it: The publisher is recorded and its pages read. The TEXT cannot be divided yet, so it is not published. Every ?section= address on leg.wa.gov returns the WHOLE constitution -- the articles are all present in the markup and one is revealed by script -- so thirty-one addresses produced thirty-one documents all headed 'ARTICLE I. DECLARATION OF RIGHTS' and 1,077,788 characters in total. Nothing there is false; it simply is not divided into the articles the addresses promise. Same position as Massachusetts: the publisher question is answered and the reading is not.

This is the law as the state printed it. It is legal facts, not legal advice. It cannot tell you what to do about your own case.
