which marks the friendly intercourse o. civ
izcd and independent communities.

many Of them being copied from the State
Constitutions of the United States. The

All power is inherent in the public: all
fee governments are instituted by their au-
thcrlly and fer their benefit, aud they have
a right to alter and reform the same when
heir safety and happiness require it.
All men have a natural and inalienahle
right to worship God according the dictates

i'm or molestalion from others all PEI sons

free exercise Of their own religion, and no
sect Of Christians shall have exclusive privf
eyes or preference over any other sect, but
shall be alike tolerated aud no religious TEST
whatever shall be required as qualification
| for civil office, or the exercise OF any civil
right.
The powers Of this government shall be
| divided into three distinct departments, the
| legislative, the executive and the Judicial
and no person belonging to one of these de-
par'ments shall exercise any Of the powers
belonging to either of the others. This sec
ton is not TO be construed to include Justices
| Of the peace.
The liberty Of the press is essential TO the
security OF freedom in stale it ought not.
therefore, TO he restrained III this republic.
The printing press shall he free to every
person who undertakes TO examine The pro-
ceedinss of the legislature or any branch oil
government; and 10 law shall ever be made
to restrain the rights thereof. The free COM
municatIon of thoughts and opinions is one
of the invaluable rights Of man; and every
citizen may freely speak, write, and print on
any subject. being responsible for The abuse
of that liberty.
The Legislative and Executive branches
Of the Government are made conformable to
our own: except thatthe President and Vice
President are 10 be elected every two years.
The constitution concludes thus:
