“The question was, did that same Constitution EXPRESSLY deny the legislature the power to create other local units of government.” Again, NO! There are no expressed authority in the State Constitution for the legislature to create any other form of county government. In fact, there are several Michigan Supreme Court cases that have opined: “the state legislature is not king and may not act outside of the expressed authority found in the Constitution.”

Are you sure? What is the "Constitutional" meaning of the provision in the Michigan Constitution that I cited in my last post? It seems to directly say that "the law" (legislature?) may direct other formations of county governance than the Constitution has specified.

I said: "For example: Article VII, Sec 2: '[snip].........The law may permit the organization of county government in form different from that set forth in this constitution and......[snip]'" Is everyone certain that in that provision "the law" does not include the state legislature?
