Proposal for a legislative amendment to the Constitution relative to use of gender in the Massachusetts Constitution

This bill proposes to amend the Massachusetts Constitution by replacing every instance of the word "he" with the gender-neutral term "the person." The change directly affects the state's foundational legal document to ensure it refers to all residents without regard to gender. If passed by the legislature and approved by voters, the amendment would update the 1780 text to use inclusive language throughout. This procedural change aims to modernize the constitution's wording while maintaining its original intent of applying to all citizens.
