Constitution:  of  |teto-|)amgsljtn. 


PART      F  I  RST. 

BILL  OF  EIGHTS. 

Article  1.  All  men  are  born  equally  free  and  independent; 
therefore,  all  government  of  right  originates  from  the  people,  is 
founded  in  consent,  and  instituted  for  the  general  good. 

Art.  2  All  men  have  certain  natural,  essential  and  inherent 
rights;  among  which  are  the  enjoying  and  defending  life  and| 
liberty — acquiring,  possessing  and  protecting  property — and,  in  a' 
word,  of  seeking  and  obtaining  happiness 

Art.  3.  When  men  enter  into  a  state  of  society  they  surrender! 
some  of  their  natural  rights  to  that  society,  in  order  to  insure 
the  protection  of  others;  and  without  such  an  equivalent  the 
surrender  is  void. 

Art.  i.  Among  the  natural  rights,  some  are  in  their  very  na- 
ture unalienable,  because  no  equivalent  can  be  given  or  received 
for  them.    Of  this  kind  are  the  rights  of  conscience. 

Art.  5.  Every  individual  has  a  natural  and  unalienable  right  to 
worship  God  according  to  the  dictates  of  his  own  conscience  and 
reason:  and  no  subject  shall  be  hurt,  molested  or  restrained  in  his 
person,  liberty  or  estate,  for  worshiping  Ood  in  the  manner  and 
season  most  agreeable  to  the  dictates  of  his  own  conscience,  or  ior 
his  religious  profession,  sentiments  or  persuasion;  provided  he 
doth  not  disturb  the  public  peace,  or  disturb  others  in  their  relig- 
ious worship. 

Art.  6.  As  morality  and  piety,  rightly  grounded  on  evangelical 
principles,  will  give  the  best  and  greatest  security  to  government, 
and  will  lay  in  the  hearts  of  men  the  strongest  obligations  to  due 
I  subjection;"  and  as  the  knowledge  of  these  is  most  likely  to  be 
propagated  through  a  society  by  the  institution  of  the  public  wor- 
ship of  the  Deity,  and  of  public  instruction  in  morality  and  relig- 
ion; therefore,  to  promote  those  important  purposes,  the  people 
of  this  State  have  a  right  to  empower,  and  do  hereby  fully  em- 
power, the  Legislature  to  authorize,  from  time  to  time,  the  several 
towns,  parishes,  bodies  corporate,  or  religious  societies  within 
this  State,  to  make  adequate  provision,  at  their  own  expense,  for 
the  support  and  maintenance  of  public  protestant  teachers  of  piety, 
religion  and  morality : 

Provided,  notwithstanding,  That  the  several  towns,  parishes, 
bodies  corporate,  or  religious  societies,  shall  at  all  times  have  the 
exclusive  right  of  electing  their  own  public  teachers,  and  of  contract- 
ing with  them  for  their  support  and  maintenance.  And  no  person, 
of  any  one  particular  religious  sect  or  denomination,  shall  ever  be 
compelled  to  pay  toward  the  support  of  the  teacher  or  teachers  of 
another  persuasion,  seer,  or  denomination. 

And  even-  denomination  of  Christians,  demeaning  themselves 
quietly,  and  as  good  subjects  of  the  State,  shall  be  equally  under 


16  CONSTITUTION    OF 

the  protection  of  the  law ;  and  no  subordination  of  any  one  sect  or  ! 
denomination  to  another  shall  ever  be  established  by  law. 

And  nothing  herein  shall  be  understood  to  affect  any  former  con- 1 
tracts  made  for  the  support  of  the  ministry;  but  all  such  contracts 
shall  remain  and  be  in  the  same  state  as  if  this  constitution  had  not  j 
been  made. 

Art.  7.  The  people  of  this  State  have  the  sole  and  exclusive  right 
of  governing  themselves  as  a  free,  sovereign  and  independent  State, 
and  do,  and  for  ever  hereafter  shall  exercise  and  enjoy  every  power, 
jurisdiction  and  right  pertaining  thereto,  which  is  not  or  may  not 
hereafter  be  by  them  expressly  delegated  to  the  United  States  of 
America,  in  Congress  assembled. 

Art.  8.  All  power  residing  originally  in,  and  being  derived  from 
the  people,  all  the  magistrates  and  officers  of  government  are  their 
substitutes  and  agents,  and  at  all  times  accountable  to  them. 

Art.  9.  No  office  or  place  whatsoever  in  government  shall  be 
hereditary— the  abilities  and  [integrity  requisite  in  all  not  being  j 
I  transmissible  to  posterity  or  relations. 

Art.  10.  Government  being  instituted  for  the  common  benefit,  j 
I  protection  and  security  of  the  whole  community,  and  not  for  the 
i  private  interest  or  emolument  of  any  one  man,  family,  or  class  of 
men;  therefore,  whenever  the  ends  of  government  are  perverted,! 
J  and  public  liberty  manifestly  endangered,  and  all  other  means  of  j 
|  redress  are  ineffectual,  the  people  may,  and  of  right  ought  to,  reform 
j  the  old,  or  establish  a  new  government.    The  doctrine  of  non-resist- 
ance against   arbitrary  power  and  oppression  is  absurd,  slavish, 
and  destructive  of  the  good  and  happiness  of  mankind. 
|     Art.  11.  All  elections  ought  to  be  free,  and  every  inhabitant  of 
\  the  State,  having  the  proper  qualifications,  has  equal  right  to  elect 
[  »nd  be  elected  into  office. 

Art.  12.  Every  member  of  the  community  has  a  right  to  be  pro- 
i  tected  by  it  in  the  enjoyment  of  his  life,  liberty,  and  property.  He 
is  therefore  bound  to  contribute  his  share  in  (the  expense  of  such 
protection,  and  to  yield  his  personal  service  when  necessary,  or  an 
equivalent.  But  no  part  of  a  man's  property  shall  be  taken  from 
him  or  applied  to  public  uses,  without  his  own  consent,  or  that  of  j 
the  representative  body  of  the  people.  Nor  are  the  inhabitants  of 
this  State  controllableby  any  other  laws  than  those  to  which  they, 
or  their  representative  body,  have  given  their  consent. 

Art.  13.  No  person  who  is  conscientiously  scrupulous  about  the 
lawfulness  of  bearing  arms,  shall  be  compelled  thereto,  provided 
he  will  pay  an  equivalent. 

Art.  14.  Every  subject  of  this  State  is  entitled  to  a  certain 
remedy,  by  having  recourse  to  the  laws  for  all  injuries  he  may  re- 
ceive in  his  person,  property  or  character,  to  obtain  right  and  jus- 
j  tice  freely,  without  being  obliged  to  purchase  it;  completely,  and  I 
without  any  denial;  promptly,  and  without  any  delay;  conformably  ;

put  out  of  the  protection  of  the  law,  exiled  or  deprived  of  his  life, 
liberty  or  estate,  but  by  the  judgment  of  his  peers,  or  the  law  of 
the  land. 

Art.  18.  No  subject  shall  be  liable  to  be  tried,  after  an  acquittal, 
for  the  same  crime  or  offense.  Isor  shall  the  Legislature  make  any 
law  that  shall  subjectany  person  to  a  capital  pnnishmenl  (excepting 
for  the  government  of  the  army  and  navy,  and  militia  in  actual 
service)  without  trial  by  jury. 

Art.  17.  In  criminal  prosecutions,  the  trial  of  the  facts  in  the 
vicinity  where  they  happen  is  so  essential  to  the  security  of  the 
life,  liberty  and  estate  <>f  the  citizen,  that  no  crime  or  offense  ought 
to  be  tried  in  any  other  county  than  that  in  which  it  is  committed; 
except,  in  cases  of  general  insurrection  in  any  particular  county. 
when  it  shall  appear  to  the  judge  of  the  superior  court  than  an  im- 
partial trial  can  not  be  had  in  the  county  where  the  offense  may  be 
committed,  and  upon  their  report,  the  Legislature  shall  think 
proper  to  direct  the  trial  in  the  nearest  county  in  which  an  im- 
partial trial  can  be  obtained. 

Art.  IS.  All  penalties  ought  to  be  proportioned  to  the  nature  of 
the  offense.  No  wise  Legislature  will  atlix  the  same  punishment  to 
the  crimes  of  theft,  forgery,  and  the  like,  which  they  do  to  those  of 

I  murder  and  treason.  Where  the  same  undistinguishing  severity  is 
exerted  against  all  offenses,  the  people  are  led  to  forget  the  real 
distinction  in  the  crimes  themselves,  and  to  commit  the  most  fla- 
grant with  as  little  compunction  as  they  do  the  lightest  offenses. 

I  For  the  same  reason  a  multitude  of  sanguinary  laws  is  both  im- 
politic and  unjust;  the  true  design  of  all  punishments  being  to 

:  reform,  not  to  exterminate  mankind. 

Art.  19.  Every  subject  has  a  right  to  be  secure  from  all  unreason- 
able searches  and  seizures  of  his  person,  his  houses,  his  papers,  and 
all  his  possessions.  Therefore,  all  warrants  to  search  suspected 
places,  or  arrest  a  person  for  examination  or  trial,  in  prosecutions 
for  criminal  matters,  are  contrary  to  this  right  if  the  cause  or  foun- 
dation of  them  be  not  previously  supported  by  oath  or  affirmation ; 
and  if  the  order,  in  a  warrant  to  a  civil  ofiicer,  to  make  search  in 
suspected  places,  or  to  arrest  one  or  more  suspected  persons,  or  to 
seize  their  property,  be  not  accompanied  with  a  special  designation 
of  the  persons  or  object  of  search,  arrest  or  seizure;  and  no  war- 
rant ought  to  be  issued  but  in  cases  and  with  the  formalities  pre- 

:  scribed  by  law. 

Art.  20.  In  all  controversies  concerning  property,  and  in  all 
suits  between  two  or  more  persons,  except  in  cases  in  which  it  has 
been  heretofore  otherwise  used  and  practiced,  the  parties  have  a 

|  right  to  trial  by  jury ;  and  this  method  of  procedure  shall  be  held 
sacred  unless,  in  cases  arising  on  the  high  seas,  and  such  as  relate 
to  mariners7  wages,  the  Legislature  shall  think  it  necessary  here- 
after to  alter  it. 

Art.  21.  In  order  to  reap  the  fullest  advantage  of  the  inestimable 
privilege  of  the  trial  by  jury,  great  careought  to  be  taken  that  none 
but  qualified  persons  should  be  appointed  to  serve;  and  such  ought 
to  [be]  fully  compensated  for  their  travel,  time,  and  attendance. 

Art.  22.  The  liberty  of  the  press  is  essential  to  thesecurity  of  free- 
dom in  a  State;  it  ought,  therefore,  to  be  inviolably  preserved. 

;  Art.  23.  Retrospective  laws  are  highly  injurious,  oppressive  and 
unjust.  No  such  laws,  therefore,  should  be  made,  either  for  the 
decision  of  civil  causes,  or  the  punishment  of  offenses. 


18  CONSTITUTION    OP 

Art.  24.  A  well  regulated  militia  is  the  proper,  natural  and  sure 
defense  of  a  State.

not  to  be  raised  or  kept  up,  without  the  consent  of  the  Legislature. 
Art.  26.  In  all  cases,  and  at  all  times,  the  military  ought  to  be  j 
under  strict  subordination  to,  and  governed  by,  the  civil  power. 

Art.  27.  No  soldier,  in  time  of  peace,  shall  be  quartered  in  any  | 
house  without  the  consent  of  the  owner;  and  in  time  of  war  such 
quarters  ought  not  to  be  made  but  by  the  civil  magistrate,  in  a 
manner  ordained  by  the  Legislature. 

Art.  28.  No  subsidy,  charge,  tax,  impost  or  duty  shall  be  estab- 
lished, fixed,  laid,  or  levied,  under  any  pretext  whatsoever,  without 
the  consent  of  the  people,  or  their  representatives  in  the  Legisla- 
ture, or  authority  derived  from  that  body. 

Art.  29.  The  power  of  suspending  the  laws,  or  the  execution  of 
them,  ought  never  to  be  exercised  but  by  the  Legislature,  or  by  au- 
thority derived  therefrom,  to  be  exercised  in  such  particular  cases 
only  as  the  Legislature  shall  expressly  provide  tor. 

Art.  30.  The  freedom  of  deliberation,  speech  and  debate,  in 
either  house  of  the  Legislature,  is  so  essential  to  the  rights  of  the 
people,  that  it  can  not  be  the  foundation  of  any  action,  complaint 
or  prosecution,  in  any  other  court  or  place  whatsoever. 

Art.  31.  The  Legislature  shall  assemble  for  the  redress  of  public 
grievances,  and  for  making  such  laws  as  the  public  good  may  require. 
Art.  32.  The  people  have  a  right,  in  an  orderly  and  peaceable 
manner,  to  assemble  and  consult  upon  the  common  good,  give 
instruction  to  their  representatives,  and  to  request  of  the  legisla- 
tive body,  by  way  of  petition  or  remonstrance,  redress  of  the 
wrongs  done  them,  and  the  grievances  they  suffer. 

Art.  33.  No  magistrate  or  court  of  law  shall  demand  excessive 
bail  or  sureties,  impose  excessive  fines,  or  inflict  cruel  or  unsual 
punishment. 

I     Art.  34.  No  person  can  in  any  case  be  subjected  to  law-martial, 

|  or  to  any  pains  or  penalties  by  virtue  of  that  law,  except  those  em- 

j  p'oyed  in  the  army  or  navy,  and  except  the  militia  in  actual  ser- 
vice, but  by  authority  of  the  Legislature. 

!  Art.  35.  It  is  essential  to  the  preservation  of  the  rights  of  every 
individual,  his  life,  liberty  property,  and  character,  that  there  be 
an  impartial  interpretation  of  the  laws  and  administration  of 
justice.  It  is  the  right  of  every  citizen  to  be  tried  by  judges  as  im- 
partial as  the  lot  of  "humanity  will  admit,  it  is,  therefore,  not  only 
the  best  policy,  but  for  the  security  of  the  rights  of  the  people, 
that  the  judges  of  the  supreme  judicial  court  should  hold  their 

:  offices  so  long  as  they  behave  well;  subject,  however,  to  such  limi- 
tations on  account  of  age  as  may  be  provided  by  the  constitution  ot 

i  the  State;  and  that  they  should  have  honorable  salaries,  ascer- 
tained and  established  by  standing  laws. 

|  Art.  35.  Economy  being  a  most  essential  virtue  in  all  ^States, 
especially  in  a  young  one,  no  pension  should  be  granted  but  in 

j  consideration  of  actual  services;  and  such  pension  ought  to  be 
granted  with  great  caution  by  the  Legislature,  and  never  for  more 
than  one  year  at  a  time. 

j  Art.  37.  In  the  government  of  this  State,  the  three  essential 
powers  thereof,  to  wit,  the  legislative,  executive  and  judicial,  ought 

i  to  be  kept  as  separate  from,  and  independent  of,  each  other,  as  the 

i  nature  of  a  free  government  will  admit,  or  as  is  consistent  with

that  chain  of  connection  that  binds  the  whole  fabric  of  the  consti- 
tution in  one  indissoluble  bond  of  union  and  amity.  I 
Art.  33.  A  frequent  recurrence  to  the  fundamental  principles  of 
the  constitution,  and  a  constant  adherence  to  justice,  moderation, 
temperance,  industry,  frugality,  and  all  the  social  virtues,  are  indis- 
pensably necessary  to  preserve  the  blessiugs  of  liberty  and  good 
government.  The  people  ought,  therefore,  to  have  a  particular 
:  regard  to  all  those  principles  in  the  choice  of  their  officers  and 
j  representatives ;  and  they  have  a  right  to  require  of  their  law- 
givers and  magistrates  an  exact  and  constant  observance  of  them 
in  the  formation  and  execution  of  the  laws  necessary  for  the  good 
administration  of  government.

In  1622.  Mason  and  Gorges  jointly  had  a  grant  of  the  land  from 
Merrimack  river  to  the  Kennebec  river,  and  in  1623,  the  first  settle- 
ments were  commenced  at  Portsmouth  and  at  Dover.    In  1629  the 
grant  was  divided,  and  a  separate  grant  was  made  to  Mason  of  that 
part  west  of  the  Piscataqua  river,  called  New-Hampshire,  and  to 
Gorges  of  the  part  east  of  the  Fiscataqua,  called  Maine.    In  1641  Mas- 
sachusetts extended  her  jurisdiction  over  New-Hampshire  and  main- 
tained her  authority  there  till  1679.  when  the  case  being  brought  be- 
fore the  highest  Court  of  Appeal  in  England  on  Provincial  matters,  it 
;  was  decided  that  the  claim  of  Massachusetts  was  illegal,  and  New- 
j  Hampshire  was  constituted  a  separate  province.    In  1686,  the  char- 
!  ter  of  Massachusetts  having  been  annulled,  New-Hampshire,  Maine, 
i  Massachusetts  and  Narragansett  were  united  in  one  Royal  Province, 
:  under  President  Dudley,  and  afterward  under  Governor  Andros. 
In  1689,  upon  news  of  the  revolution  in  England,  the  Government 
I  of  Andros  was  overturned,  and   Massachusetts  assumed  her  old 
charter.     Some  of  the  people  of  New-Hampshire  petitioned  Massa- 
chusetts to  be  received  under  her  government  and  protection  till 
orders  should  come  from  England,  to  which  Massachusetts  assented, 
and  exercised  a  merely  nominal  authority  thex*e.    In    1692,  the 
province  of  New-Hampshire  was  re-established,  and  ever  alter  re- 
mained a  separate  province.    In  some  cases  the  same  person  was 
Governor  of  New-Hampshire  and  Massachusetts,  but  the  govern- 
ments were  not  connected.    The  legislatures,  laAvs,  courts  and  offi- 
cers, civil  and  military,  were  entirely  distinct.    The  line  between 
the  provinces  remained  in  dispute  till  1741,  when  it  was  finally 
settled,  as  it  now  remains.

I  Note.  The  Lt.  Governors,  after  1741,  are  not  known  to  have 
i  acted  as  chief  magistrates,  the  Governors  being  residents  of  the 
province.  Before  that,  when  the  Governor  was  resident  in  Massa- 
chusetts, the  Lt.  Governors  claimed  to  be  chief  magistrates,  and 
often  acted  as  such  when  the  Governor  was  out  of  the  province. 

In  May,  1775,  the  Royal  Governor  withdrew,  and  the  province  was 
governed  by  a  convention,  of  which  Matthew  Thornton  was  Presi- 
dent; and  in  January,  1776,  a  temporary  Constitution  was  adopted, 
under  which  Meshech  Weare  was  unanimously  elected  President  of 
the  Council,  and  Chairman  of  the  Committee  of  Safety,  till  June,  1784.

General  Court.  Members  of  both  houses  are  chosen  annua] 
Senators,  12  in  number,  must  be  30  years  old,  inhabitants  of  their 
districts,  and  have  been  inhabitants  of  the  State  for  seven  years. 
Senatorial  districts  are  set  otf  according  to  the  portion  of  direct 
taxes  paid  by  the  said  districts.  In  case  of  non-election  in  any 
senatorial  district,  the  General  Court  chooses  one  of  the  two  per- 
sons having  the  highest  number  of  votes.  Representatives  must 
be  inhabitants  of  their  district,  and  have  been,  for  two  years  next 
preceding  election,  inhabitants  of  the  State.  Every  town,  &c, 
having  150  ratable  male  polls  21  years  old,  may  choose  one 
representative;  and  every  300  such  polls  additional  shall  entitle 
the  town  to  another  representative. 

The  Judiciary  consists  of  the  Supreme  Judicial  Court,  Courts  I 
of  Probate,  and  Justices  of  the  Peace.  All  judges  are  nomi- 
nated and  appointed  by  the  Governoraud  Council,"and  hold  their 
offices  during  good  behavior.  Justices  of  the  Peace  are  appointed 
for  live  years,  and  have  jurisdiction  in  cases  below  $13  33.  Clerks 
of  courts  are  appointed  by  the  courts. 

The  Governor  is  chosen  annually,  by  a  majority  of  votes;  or,  in 
case  of  no  choice  by  the  people,  the  General  Court,  in  joint  bal- 
lot, elects  one  of  the  two  persons  having  the  highest  number  of 
votes.  The  qualifications  for  Governor  are  the  same  as  for  Sena- 
tors. In  case  of  the  death  or  disability  of  the  Governor,  the 
office  is  filled  by  the  President  of  the  Senate.  The  Council 
consists  of  five  Councillors,  elected  annually,  for  advising  the 
Governor  in  the  executive  part  of  government.  The  qualifica- 
tions for  Councilors  are  the  same  as  for  Senators,  and  vacancies 
are  filled  as  in  the  Senate.  The  Governor  convenes  the  Council, 
and  their  resolutions  and  advice  are  recorded  in  a  register,  and 
signed  by  those  agreeing  thereto.  The  Governor  and  Council 
nominate  and  appoint  all  judicial  officers,  the  attorney-general, 
and  solicitors,  sheriffs,  coroners,  registers  of  probate,  and  general 
field  officers  of  militia.  The  Govern  or  and  Council  have  a  negative 
on  each  other,  both  in  the  nominations  and  appointments.  The 
administrative  officers  of  the  State  are:  Secretary, Treasurer,  Audi- 
tor of  Accounts,  and  Commissary-General,  who  arechosen  by  joint 
ballot  of  the  General  Court.  County  treasurers,  registers  of  deeds 
and  commissioners,  are  elected  by  the  voters  in  the  several  counties.

errors  and  omissions.  In  some  cases  it  is  impossible  to  deter- 
j  mine   whether  Justices   whose    names    appear    upon   the  court 

records  were  permanently  appointed,  or  were  appointed  spe- 
cially, to  try  particular  causes  or  hold  particular  terms.  The

be  lost. 

8.  All  acts,  addresses  and  joint  resolutions  shall  be  signed  by  the

Historical  Facts  connected  with  the  formation  of  the  original 
Union,  and  the  admission  of  new  States. 
On  Monday,  September  5,  1774.  a  number  of  men  were  assem- 
bled at  Carpenter's  Hall,  Philadelphia,  who  bad  been  chosen  by 
the  several  Colonies,  in  what  now  constitutes  the  United  States. 
to  hold  a  Congress  for  the  purpose  pf  discussing  certain  grievances 
imputed  to  the  mother  country.  This  Congress  resolved  that 
each  colony  should  have  one  vote  only.  On  Tuesday,  July  2, 
1776.  the  Congress  resolved  "That  these  United  Colonies  are.  and 
of  right  ought  to  be.  Free  and  Independent  States,"  etc.;  and  on 
Thursday,  July  4.  the  whole  Declaration  of  Independence  having 
been  agreed  upon,  was  publicly  read  to  the  people.  On  Septem- 
ber 9  it  was  resolved  that  the  words  ••  United  Colonies"*  should 
no  longer  be  used,  and  that  •' United  States"*  should  thencefor- 
ward be  the  style  and  title  of  the  Union.  On  Saturday.  Novem- 
ber 15.  1777.  "Articles  of  Confederation  and  Perpetual'  Union  of

gates, subject  to  the  ratification  of  the  several  State  Legislatures. 
Eight  of  the  States  ratified  these  articles  July  9,1778;  one  July 
21;  one  July  24;  one  November  26;  one  February  22,1779;  and

1787.  It  required  that  nine  States  should  ratify  it  before  its  pro- 
visions could  go  into  effect.  Congress,  on  the  13th  of  September, 
178S,  determined  that  as  a  sufficient  number  of  States  had  ratified 
it— eleven  having  done  so— it  should  become  operative  on  the 
first  Wednesday  (the  4th)  of  March.  1789.  North-Carolina  and 
Rhode-Island  had  not  yet  sanctioned  it;  but  as  soon  as  they

CONGRESS. 

All  legislative  powers  are  vested  in  Congress,  which  consists  of 
a  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives. 

The  Senate  consists  of  two  members  from  each  State,  elected 
by  the  Legislatures  thereof  respectively  for  six  years.  The  Vice- 
President  of  the  United  States  is  ex  officio  President  of  the  Sen- 
ate; but  a  President  pro  tempore  is  elected  by  and  from  among 
the  Senators,  who,  in  the  absence  of  the  President,  acts  in  his  stead.
