The Constitution of the State of New York establishes the structure of the government of the State of New York,and enumerates the basic rights of the citizens of New York.

Because the history of the state constitution differs from the federal constitution,the New York Court of Appeals has seen fit to interpret analogous provisions differently from United States Supreme Court's interpretation of federal provisions.

North Albany is a neighborhood in the city of Albany,New York. North Albany was settled in the mid-17th century by the Patroon of Rensselaerswyck and his tenants and later became a hamlet in the town of Watervliet. Due to the Erie Canal being constructed in 1825,North Albany saw immense growth,with the Albany Lumber District and an influx of Irish immigrants lending the area the name of Limerick. Home to many historic warehouses and row houses,North Albany continues to be an important industrial neighborhood. Recent efforts have begun to gentrify the neighborhood by adapting heavy industry/warehouse use to artistic and entertainment venues,such as a German beer garden,an amusement park,live music venues,and arts and crafts marketplaces.
