Background

Alabama's previous Constitution was established with the explicit purpose of establishing white supremacy in the state.{{cite news |last1=Mzezewa |first1=Tairo |title=Alabama Begins Removing Racist Language From Its Constitution |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/09/19/us/alabama-constitution-racist.html |access-date=17 February 2024 |agency=The New York Times}} There had been three citizen efforts to strike down the racist and outdated language from the Constitution:

  • 2000 Alabama Amendment 2, which aimed to remove a ban on interracial marriage. It was approved with almost 60% of the votes in favor;
  • 2004 Alabama Amendment 2, which sought to eliminate a requirement for segregated schools, as well as references to poll taxes. It was narrowly defeated with a margin of 1850 votes;{{cite news |title=Alabama faces recount over segregationist laws |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/11/04/alabama.segregation/ |access-date=17 February 2024 |agency=CNN |date=5 November 2004}}{{cite news |last1=Roig-Franzia |first1=Manuel |title=Alabama vote opens old racial wounds |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna6596687 |access-date=17 February 2024 |agency=NBC News |date=28 November 2004}}

Four sections were struck down from the document, including one that established school discrimination.{{cite web |title=Alabama Constitution of 2022 appears to be on its way to voters in November |url=https://www.al.com/news/2022/03/alabama-constitution-of-2022-appears-to-be-on-its-way-to-voters-in-november.html |website=AL.com |access-date=18 November 2023}}
