All political power is inherent in the people.
Government is instituted for the protection, security and benefit of the people, and they have a right to alter or reform the same whenever the public good may require. Every man may freely write, speak and publish his opinions on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of that privilege. The citizens have a right, in a peaceable manner, to assemble together for the common good, and to apply to those invested with the powers of government for the redress of grievances, or for other proper purposes, by petition, address or remonstrance. Section 6 Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, unless for the punishment of crime, shall ever be tolerated in this state. Every citizen of this state shall be free to obtain employment wherever possible, and any person, corporation, or agent thereof, maliciously interfering or hindering in any way, any citizen from obtaining or enjoying employment already obtained, from any other corporation or person, shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.
