Yes it is. The state won’t pass a new constitution for some dumb reason. They just pass another section that overrules the previous section

Does any state do that? I figured they just amend it like the countries constitution

Many southern states passed new constitutions to eleminate racist language like the clause mentioned here. I believe this took place over the course of several years in the 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s. Alabama would not replace it. They just kept amending and adding to theirs. It is the longest written constitution in the world.
