Which state constitution is the oldest and still in use today?

The question as written is unclear. Firstly, are you referring exclusively to the States of the United States or are you using state as a shorthand for nation or country? Secondly what does "still in use" mean? A number of common law jurisdictions (including all 49 states - except Louisiana because it is not common law) have case law that directly affects their constitutions which can come from prior to that constitution's ratification. In addition, their are jurisprudential norms that exist outside of constitutional parameters which are culturally defined.
