                                          OPINION   LETTER  NO.  1-2022

The Honorable John R. Ashcroft
Missouri Secretary of State
James C. Kirkpatrick State Information Center
600 West Main Street
Jefferson City, MO 65101

Dear Secretary Ashcroft:

      This opinion letter responds to your request dated January 7, 2022 for our review
under § 116.334, RSMo of a proposed summary statement prepared for the petition
submitted by Austin Shaffer, 2022-080. The proposed summary statement is as follows:

      Do  you want to amend the Missouri Constitution to:
     clarify the Federal Government's duty to uphold the rights of Missouri Citizens
      under the United States Constitution including the Bill of Rights and all other
      provisions;
     identify breaches by the Federal Government; and
      allow the State of Missouri to become a separate administrative region of the state
      of Texas, while retaining its status as a state of the United States of America as the
      legislature and governor of this State may lawfully determine best?

      Pursuant  to § 116.334, RSMo, we approve the legal content and form of the proposed
statement. Because our review of the statement is mandated by statute, no action that we
take with respect to such review should be construed as an endorsement of the petition, nor
as the expression of any view regarding the objectives of its proponents.

                                                    Very truly yours,
