it are 8 the requisites required to make the sum total
Of civd liberty, which simply, the right to do

Of Rights in the State the penary exercise Of them
by her e'Oon in one grand, chief paramount particu-
lar, to wit They placed their State acHhoH the old

In this they followed in the footsteps of their illustri-
Gus predecessors, who in 1889 placed the State within
the then new confederation
The doings of our enemies in Old England made this
former act necessary and proper. The doDg8 Of our
enemies in New England, rendered this latter indig-
pensable
Did the oh Convention pass any municipal laws "

attempt 20 do the work OF legislation? Did they as
sumo the right of judicial action? Did they take in
hand the purse? Did they claim to wied the sword
History fails to inform US that they did any OF these
things.
In one word, those members Of the old Convention
exercised doubtful rights - presumed to act under
no undelegated powers; while the members Oh the
Convention do both, without hesitation and openly
place themselves above the executive above the egsa
