Who is responsible for resolving disputes related to the Arizona Constitution?

The responsibility for resolving disputes related to the Arizona Constitution falls to the Arizona courts. This is because the judicial branch is tasked with interpreting and applying the law, including constitutional matters. When there are disagreements over the meaning or application of constitutional provisions, it is the courts that hear these cases and provide rulings based on their interpretations of the law.

The Governor, while an important figure in the executive branch, does not have the authority to resolve constitutional disputes; rather, they execute laws and manage state governance. Similarly, the Arizona Legislature's role is to create laws, not to interpret them. The Secretary of State primarily focuses on election-related duties and maintaining official state records, without a direct function in constitutional dispute resolution. Hence, the courts serve as the proper venue for addressing such disputes, ensuring that interpretations align with the principles and provisions of the Arizona Constitution.
