Alabama became the 22nd state on December 14, 1819.

This profile treats Alabama as a working civic system, not just a map label: a state shaped by the Black Belt, the Tennessee Valley, the Gulf Coast, military installations, aerospace work, agriculture, universities, and the long shadow of the civil-rights movement. Public decisions here often connect history with everyday questions about schools, health care, infrastructure, voting access, disaster recovery, and economic opportunity. Start here to find Alabama’s congressional delegation, state government structure, and the official channels for tracking public decisions.

How Alabama government works

Alabama government works through executive agencies, the state legislature, and state courts. Use this tab to choose the right path: agencies for services, the legislature for bills and hearings, and courts for cases, records, forms, and legal-help resources.

Executive Branch

Governor, agencies, and public services

Alabama’s executive branch is led by the governor and supported by statewide offices, departments, boards, and agencies. This is usually the best starting point for public services, licenses, benefits, public safety, transportation, revenue, employment, education, and other state-administered programs.

Legislative Branch

Alabama Legislature

Alabama’s legislature introduces bills, holds committee hearings, debates policy, approves state budgets, conducts oversight, and represents districts across Alabama.

Judicial Branch

Courts, records, and legal help

Alabama’s judicial branch handles trial-court cases, appeals, court administration, records, forms, and legal-help resources. Visitors dealing with a court date, filing, case search, legal form, or self-help question should start with the official state judiciary resources.
