CONSTITUTIONS:
A copy of the Alabama Constitution can be found here: Constitution of Alabama - 1901. It is the longest constitution in the world. However, most of the Amendments pertain only to a limited number of counties, and not every county. Other state constitutions, statutes and codes can be found at Cornell's website.
A copy of the US Constitution, the standard by which all constitutions are measured, and the supreme law of the land, can be found here: US Constitution. You can buy a copy of it at any bookstore, or from many online sources such as this.
LOCAL LAW:
There are 44 cities in the state of Alabama with published municipal codes, free for all to view.
Selma isn't one of them. If you would like a copy of the Selma Code, one is available from the Municipal Code Corporation for $338.86.

If you have the time, a worn, dog-eared leatherette copy of the Selma Municipal Code is kept at the Selma/Dallas County Public Library. Library hours are typically 9am to 5pm, Monday-Saturday.
