California Government from WikiPedia:
California is governed as a republic, with three branches of government, the executive branch consisting of the Governor of California and the other elected constitutional officers, the legislative branch, the California State Legislature, consisting of the Assembly and Senate, and the judicial branch consisting of the Supreme Court of California and lower courts. The State also allows direct participation of the electorate by initiative, referendum, recall, and ratification.
California's constitution is one of the longest collections of laws in the world[citation needed], taking up 110 pages. Part of this length is caused by the fact that many voter initiatives take the form of a constitutional amendment.
Many of the individual rights clauses in the state constitution have been construed as providing rights even broader than the Bill of Rights in the federal constitution. An excellent example is the Pruneyard Shopping Center case, in which "free speech" rights beyond those required by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution were found in the California Constitution by the California courts.[citation needed]
