| Whereas, the great and protested object of estab

happiness of the great body of the people, and
whereas the means by which government is enabled
to carry out the accomplishment of these important
objects to practical result, is by the establishment
of wise and salutary laws and whereas, whenever
experience should prove that any law, laws, in
stead of promoting the general welfare operate in
juriously TO majority of the people, the only way
of removing the evil, is by repeating such law
laws therefore,
! Resolved, That the Legislature not only possess
es the power, but that ii is in duty bound TO repeal
all laws whether made by itself, preceding legs
latures, the operation of which is found be ad-
verse 10 the interests and general welfare Of ma
| Iority Of the people.
Resolved, That all charters for banks, or other
acts ofincorporarion, being laws emanatng from the
1 legislature. are liable TO be altered, amended

where private property is taken, as a consequence
Of the repeal Of any law laws the legislature is
bound 10 remunerate the owner or owners of such
