The Ten Commandments Amendment, also known as Amendment 1, was a legislatively referred constitutional amendment that appeared on the ballot in the U.S. state of Alabama on November 6, 2018. The measure amended the Constitution of Alabama to permit the display of the Ten Commandments on public property, including public schools. It was approved by 72% of voters.
Amendment 1 did not require public schools and property to display the Ten Commandments, instead authorizing them by law. A bill was proposed in April 2025 to require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in schools, but did not receive a final vote in the Alabama Senate.
