IX CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776.

THE UNANIMOUS DECLARATION OF THE THIRTEEN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of man- kind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unaliena- ble rights, that among these are life, libertj', and the pursuit of hap- piness. That to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just poAvers from the consent of the gov- erned. That whenever any form of government becomes destruc- tive of these ends, it is the right of the peoj)le to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its i)owers in such form as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and haj^piness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes and accordingly all experi- ;

ence has shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are suflferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design 4 NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL.

to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies and such is now the necessity which constrains them to ;

alter theirformer systems of government. The history of the pres- ent king of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and msurpations, all having indirect object the establishment of an abso- lute tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. He has refused his assent to laws, the most wholesome and neces- sary for the 23ublic good. He has forbidden his governors to pass laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his assent should be obtained and when so suspended, he has utterly ;

neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of

representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, un- comfortable, and distant from the depository of their public rec- ords, for the sole purpose -of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly for opijosing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused, for a long time after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected ; legislative jjowers, incapable of whereby the annihilation, have returned people at large for their exercise to the ;

the State remaining in the meantime exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without and convulsions within. He has endeavored to prevent the population of these States ; for that purpose ol)structing the laws for naturalization of foreigners,

refusing to pass others to encourage their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of lands. He has obstructed the administration of justice by refusing his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers. He has made judges dependent on his will alone for the tenure of their offices and the amount and payment of their salaries. THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. 5

He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance. He has kej^t among us, in times of peace, standing armies with- out the consent of our Legislature. He has aifected to render the military independent of and supe- rior to the civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution and unacknowledged by our laws ; giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation :

For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us :

For protecting them by a mock trial from punishment for any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of these States :

For cutting off our trade with all parts of the world :

For imposing taxes on us without our consent :

For depriving us in many cases of the benefit of trial by jury :

For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offences :

For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarg- ing its boundaries, so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducino; the same absolute rule into these colo- nies :

For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally the forms of our government :

For suspending our own Legislature, and declaring themselves invested with 23ower to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated government here by declaring us out of his pro- tection, and wao;ino; war ao^ainst us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large armies of foreign mercenaries to comj)lete the works of death, desolation, and tyranny already begun with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy scarcely j^aralleled in the most barbarous ao;es, and totallv unworthv the head of a civ- ilized nation. He has constrained our fellow citizens, taken captive on the high seas, tobear arms against their country', to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by their hands. b NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL.

He has excited domestic insurrections among us, and lias endeav- ored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruc- tion of all ages, sexes, and conditions. In every stage of these oppressions we have petitioned for redress in the most humble terms. Our rejDeated petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free f)eople. Nor have we been wanting in attention to our British brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attemj)ts by their Leg- islature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settle- ment here. We have ajDjiealed to their native justice and magna- nimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usur23ations, which would inevitably inter- rupt our connections and correspondence. They, too, have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must, there- fore, acquiesce in the necessity which denounces our separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in peace, friends. We, therefore, the representatives of the United States of Amer- ica, in General Congress assembled, apjjealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the name and

by authority of the good people of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare that these united colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States that they are absolved from all alle- ;

giance to the British crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dis- solved ; and that as free and independent States, they have full

power to levy war, conclude peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other acts and things which independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor. JOHN HANCOCK.

The person having the greatest number of votes shall be the President, if such number be a majority of the whole number of electors appointed and if there be more than one who ;

Permanent Constitutional Government IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

On the 28th day of December, 1775, the fifth and last Provincial " take Congress of New Hampshire voted to up civil government, to continue during the present contest with Great Britain, and resolve themselves into a House of Representatives, and then choose a Coun- cil to continue one year from the 21st day of December current." On the same day the following gentlemen were appointed a com- mittee to frame and bring in a draft of a new Constitution for the rule and government of this colony: Matthew Thornton, Meshech Weare, Ebenezer Thompson, Wyseman Claggett, and Benjamin Giles and two days later John Giddinge and ;

Joseph Badger were added to the committee. On the 5th day of January, 1776, the committee reported and the Congress passed the following vote :

That this Congress take up civil government for this colony in manner and form following, viz. :

In Congress at Exeter,

January 5, 1776.

AVe, the members of the Congress of the colony of New Hamp- shire, chosen and appointed by the free suffrages of the people of said colony, and authorized and empowered by them to meet together and use such means and pursue such measures as we should judge best for the public good, and in particular to establish some form of gov-

ernment, provided that measure should be recommended by the Con- tinental Congress, and a recommendation to that purpose having been transmitted to us from the said Congress, have taken into our STEPS TO CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT. 27

serious consideration the unhappy circumstances into which this col-

ony involved by means of many grievous and oppressive acts of the is

British Parliament, depriving us of our natural and constitutional

rights and privileges to enforce obedience to which acts, a powerful ;

fleet and army have been sent into this country by the ministry of Great Britain, who have exercised a wanton and cruel abuse of their power in destroying the lives and properties of the colonists in many places with fire and sword, taking the ships and lading from many of the honest and industrious inhabitants of this colony employed in commerce agreeable to the laws and customs a long time used here. The sudden and abrupt departure of His Excellency John Went-

worth, our late Governor, and several of the Council, leaving us E'jq., destitute of legislation and no executive courts being open to punish :

criminal offenders, whereby the lives and properties of the honest people of this colony are liable to the machinations and evil designs of wicked men ;

Therefore, for the preservation of peace and good order, and for the security of the lives and properties of the inhabitants of this colony, we conceive ourselves reduced to the necessity of establish- ing a form of government, to continue during the present unhappy and unnatural contest with Great Britain protesting and declaring ;

that we never sought throw off our dependence upon Great Brit- to

ain, but felt ourselves happy under her protection while we could enjoy our constitutional rights and privileges, and that we shall rejoice if such a reconciliation between us and our parent State can be effected as shall be approved by the Continental Congress, in whose prudence and wisdom we confide.

Accordingly, pursuant to the trust reposed in us, we do resolve that this Congress assume the name, power, and authority of a House of Representatives, or Assembly, for the colony of New Hampshire ;

and that said house then proceed to choose twelve persons, being rep- utable freeholders and inhabitants within this colony, in the following manner, viz. Five in the county of Rockingham, two in the county :

of Strafford, two in the county of Hillsborough, two in the county of Cheshire, and one in the county of Grafton, to be a distinct and sep- arate branch of the Legislature, by the name of a Council for this

colony, to continue as such until the third Wednesday in December next, any seven of whom to be a quorum to do business. 28 NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL.

That such Council appoint their president and in his absence that ;

the senior councilor preside. That a secretary be appointed by both branches, who may be a councilor or otherwise as they shall choose. That no act or resolve shall be valid and put into execution unless agreed to and passed by both branches of the Legislature. That all public officers for the said colony and each county for the current year be appointed by the Council and Assembly, except the several clerks of the executive courts, who shall be appointed by the justices of the respective courts. That all bills, resolves, or votes for raising, levying, and collect- ing money, originate in the House of Representatives. That at any session of the Council and Assembly neither branch shall adjourn for any longer time than from Saturday till the next

Monday without consent of the other. And it is further resolved that if the present unhappy dispute with Great Britain should continue longer than this present year, and the Continental Congress give no instructions or directions to the contrary, the Council be chosen by the people of each respective county in such manner as the Council and House of Ivepresentatives shall order. That general and field officers of the militia, on any vacancy, be appointed by the two houses, and all inferior officers be chosen by the respective companies. That all officers of the army be appointed by the two houses, except they should direct otherwise in case of any emergency. That all civil officers for the colony and for each county be appointed and the time of their continuance in office be determined by the two houses, except clerks of courts, and county treasurers, and record- ers of deeds. That a treasurer and a recorder of deeds for each county be annu-

ally chosen by the people of each county respectively the votes for ;

such officers to be returned to the respective courts of general ses- sions of the peace in the county, there to be ascertained as the Council and Assembly shall hereafter direct.

COLONY OF N^EW HAMPSHIRE. BY THE COUNCIL AND ASSEMBLY, A PROCLAMATION.

Whereas, the Congress of this colony have, agreeable to a recom- mendation from the honorable Continental Congress, resolved on and formed themselves upon a plan of government by a Council and House of Representatives, which plan has been published, and dispersed

through the (folony, and is to be in force during the present dispute with Great Britain, unless otherwise advised bv the Continental Con- gress conformable to which said plan of government, the Council ;

and Assembly have chosen and appointed the proper officers for the administration of justice in the several counties, who are to be sworn to the faithful discharge of their several trusts. It is therefore

expected that no person or persons claim or exercise any civil author- ity but such as are, or may be, appointed as aforesaid, on the pen- alty of being deemed inimical to their country. Provided, nevertheless, and this proclamation is intended not to interfere with the power of the necessary committees of inspection, or safety, chosen in the several towns through the colony by vir- tue and in consequence of any recommendation or resolves of the Continental Congress. Whereof, all persons concerned are to take due notice, and gov- ern themselves accordingly. And at the same time it is earnestly recommended that in this distressing day of public calamity, when our enemies are watching all opportunities to ensnare and divide us, every one would strive to prevent, and, if possible, to quell all appearance of party spirit, to cultivate and promote peace, union, and good order, and by all means- in their power to discourage profaneness, immorality, and injustice.

Whereas, it now appears an undoubted fact, that notwithstanding

all the dutiful petitions and decent remonstrances from the American colonies, and the utmost exertions of their best friends in England on their behalf, the British ministry, arbitrary and vindictive, are yet determined to reduce, by fire and sword, our bleeding country to their absolute obedience and for this purpose, in addition to their own ;

forces, have engaged great numbers of foreign mercenaries, who may now be on their passage here, accompanied by a formidable fleet, to ravage and plunder the seacoast from all which we may reasonably ;

expect the most dismal scenes of distress the ensuing year, unless we exert ourselves by every means and precaution possible and whereas, ;

we, of this colony of Xew Hampshire, have the example of several of the most respectable of our sister colonies before us for entering upon that most important step of a disunion from Great Britain, and declaring ourselves free and independent of the crown thereof, being impelled thereto by the most violent and injurious treatment ; and it

appearing absolutely necessary in this most critical juncture of our public affairs that the honorable the Continental Congress, who have this important object under their immediate consideration, should be also informed of our resolutions thereon without loss of time, we do hereby declare that it is the opinion of this Assembly that our delegates at the Continental Congress should be instructed, and they are hereby instructed, to join with the other colonies in declaring the thirteen United Colonies a free and independent State, solemnly

pledging our faith and honor that we will, on our parts, support the measure with our lives and fortunes and that in consequence thereof, ;

meeting, and how many voted for receiving said plan, and how many for rejecting the same, unto this convention at Concord in this State, on the third Tuesday in September next.

By order of the convention, JOHN LANGDON, President, P. T. E. Thompson, Secretary.

In the House of Repkesentatives,

April 5, 1781.

Whereas, the present situation of aifairs in this State make it necessary that a full and free representation of the inhabitants thereof should meet in convention for the sole puri^ose of forming and laying a j^ermanent plan or system of government for the future happiness and well-being of the good people of this State, and this house having received instructions from a considerable part of their constituents for that purpose therefore, voted and resolved that the ;

honorable the president of the Council issue to every town, parish, and district within that part of this State east of Connecticut river a precept, recommending to them to elect and choose one or more persons, as tliej^ shall judge it expedient, to convene at Concord in said State, on the first Tuesday of June next, for the purpose afore- said, saving to the small towns liberty to join two or more together if they see fit, to elect and send one person to represent them in said convention. And such S3'stem or form of government as may be agreed upon by such convention being j^rinted, and sent to each and ever}' town, parish, and district in this State, for the approbation of the people, which system or form of government being approved of by such number of the inhabitants of this State in their respective town meetings, legally called for that purpose, as shall be ordered -by said convention, and a return of such a^jprobation being made to said convention and confirmed by them, shall remain as a permanent

system or form of government of this State, and not otherwise. And if the first proposed system or form of government should be 40 NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL.

rejected by the people, that the same convention shall be empowered to proceed and make such amendments and alterations from time to time as may be necessary, provided, always, that after such altera- tions the same be sent out for the approbation of the people, in manner as aforesaid, and that the charge and expense of each mem- ber of such convention be defrayed by their respective electors. Sent up by Capt. Pickering.

In Council, April 6, 1781.

Resolve for calling a convention to meet at Concord on the first

Tuesday of June next, to form a system or plan of government, brought up, read, and concurred. Pursuant to the foreo-oino- votes a convention of deleo^ates met in Concord on the first Tuesday of June, 1781. As the jovirnal of the convention cannot be found, it is not easy to tell how many sessions it held. Dr. Belknap says nine. It continued a live, active body through a period of two years and almost five months, during which it "framed" three constitutions, which were successively submitted to the jDcople. Two were rejected. The following is the Constitution framed by the convention and ratified by the people in 1783, which "took place" on the first Wednesday of June, 1784 :

A CON'STITUTION, CONTAINING A BILL OF RIGHTS, AND FORM OF GOVERNMENT

Agreed upon by the delegates of the people of the State of New Hampshire, in convention held at Concord, on the first Tuesday of June, 1783; submitted to and approved of by the people of said State, and established by their delegates in convention, October 31, 1783. PART I.

THE BILL OF RIGHTS. I. All men are born equally free and independent therefore, all gov- ;

ernment of right originates from the people, is founded in consent, and instituted for the general good. THE CONSTITUTION OF 1784, 41

II. men have certain natural, essential, and inherent rights, All among which are the enjoying and defending life and liberty, in a word, of acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and, seeking and obtaining happiness. III. When men enter into a state of society, they surrender up 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.

IV. the natural rights, some are in their very nature una- Among lienable, because no equivalent can be given or received for them. Of this kind are the rights of conscience. V. 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 God in the manner and season most agreeable to the dictates of his own conscience, or for his relig- ious profession, sentiments, or persuasion, provided he doth not dis- turb the public peace, or disturb others in their religious worship. VI. As morality and piety, rightly grounded on evangelical princi- ples, will give the best and greatest security to government, and will lay in the hearts of men the strongest obligations to due sub-

jection, and as the knowledge of these is most likely to be propa-

gated through a society by the institution of the public worship of the Deity, and of public instruction in morality and religion, therefore, to promote those important purposes, the people of this State have a right to impower, and do hereby fully impower, the Legislature to authorize from time to time the several towns, parishes, bodies cor- porate, or religious societies within this State, to make adequate pro- vision 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 contracting with them for their support and maintenance. And no person of any one particular religious sect or denomination shall ever be compelled to pay towards the support of the teacher or teachers of another persua- sion, sect, or denomination. And every denomination of Christians demeaning themselves qui- 42 NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL.

etly, and as good subjects of the State, shall be equally under the

protection of the law and no subordination of any one sect or ; de- nomination to another shall ever be established by law. And nothing herein shall be understood to affect any former con- tracts madefor the support of the ministry but all such contracts ;

shall remain, and be in the same state as if this Constitution had not been made. VII. The people of this State have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and independent State, and do, and forever hereafter shall, exercise and enjoy every power, juris- diction, and right pertaining thereto, which is not, or may not here- after be, by them expressly delegated to the United States of America in Congress assembled. VIII. 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. IX. No office or place whatsoever in government shall be heredi- tary, the abilities and integrity requisite in all not being transmissible to posterity or relations. X. Government being instituted for the common benefit, protec- tion, and security of the whole community, and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men ;

therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are

ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought, to reform the old or establish a new government. The doctrine of non-resistance against

arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind. XI. All elections ought to be free, and every inhabitant of the

State, having the proper qualifications, has equal right to elect and be elected into office. XII. Every member of the community has a right to be protected by it in the enjoyment of his life, liberty, and property; he is there- fore 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 the representative

body of the people. Kor are the inhabitants of this State controlla- THE CONSTITUTION OF 178i. 43

ble by any other laws than those to which they or their representative body have given their consent. Xin. No person who is conscientiously scrupulous about the lawfulness of bearing arms shall be compelled thereto, provided he will pay an equivalent. XIV. Every subject of this State is entitled to a certain remedy, by having recourse to the laws, for all injuries he may receive in his

person, proj^erty, or character, to obtain right and justice freely, without being obliged to purchase it completely, and without any ;

denial; promptly, and without delay, conformably to the laws. XV. No subject shall be held to answer for any crime or offence until the same is fully and plainly, substantially and formally, described to him ; or be comi^elled to accuse or furnish evidence against himself. And every subject shall have a right to produce all proofs that may be favorable to himself to meet the witnesses ;

against him face to face, and to be fully heard in his defence by himself and counsel. And no subject shall be arrested, impris- oned, despoiled, or deprived of his property, immunities, or jDriv- ileges, 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. XVI. No subject shall be liable to be tried, after an acquittal, for the same crime or offence. Nor shall the Legislature make any law that shall subject any person to a capital punishment, except-

ing for the government of the army and navy, and the militia in actual service, without trial by jury. XVII. In criminal prosecutions, the trial of facts in the vicinity where they happen is so essential to the security of the life, lib- to be erty, and estate of the citizen, that no crime or offence ought 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 judges of the superior court that an impartial trial cannot be had in the county where the offence may be commit-

ted, and upon their report the Assembly shall think proper to direct the trial in the nearest county in which an impartial trial can be obtained. XVIII. All penalties ought to be proportioned to the nature of the offence. No wise Legislature will affix the same punishment to 44 NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL.

the crimes of theft, forgery, and the like, which they do to those of murder and treason where the same undistinguishing severity is ;

exerted against all offences, the peoj)le are led to forget the real distinction in the crimes themselves, and to commit the most flagrant with as littlecompunction as they do those of the lightest dye for ;

the same reason a multitude of sanguinary laws is both impolitic and unjust, the true design of all punishments being to reform, not to exterminate, mankind. XIX. Every subject hath a right to be secure from all unreasona- ble searches and seizures of his person, his houses, his papers, and all his possessions. All warrants, therefore, are contrary to this right, if the cause or foundation of them be not jDreviously sup- ported by oath or aflirmation, and if the order in the warrant to a civil officer 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 objects of search, arrest, and seizure and no warrant ought to be issued ;

but in cases and with the formalities prescribed by the laws. XX. 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 a trial by jury and this method of procedure shall be held sacred, ;

unless in causes arising on the high seas, and such as relate to mar- iners^ wages, the Legislature shall think it necessary hereafter to alter it.

XXI. In order to reap the fullest advantage of the inestimable by jury, great care ought to be taken that none privilege of the trial but qualified persons should be appointed to serve and such ought;

to be fully compensated for their travel, time, and attendance. XXII. The liberty of the press is essential to the security of free- dom in a State it ought, therefore, to be inviolably i^reserved. ;

XXIII. 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 offences. XXIV. A well-regulated militia is the proper, natural, and sure defence of a State. XXV. Standingarmies are dangerous to liberty, and ought not to be raised or kept up without the consent of the Legislature. THE CONSTITUTION OF 1784. 45

XXVI. all cases, and at all times, the military ought to be In mider subordination to and governed by the civil power. strict

XXVII. Xo 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. XXVIII. Xo subsidy, charge, tax, impost, or duty shall be estab-

lished, fixed, laid, or levied under any pretext whatsoever with- out the consent of the people, or their representatives in the Legis- lature, or authority derived from that body. XXIX. The power of suspending the laws, or the execution of them, ought never to be exercised but by the Legislature, or by authority derived therefrom, to be exercised in such particular cases

only as the Legislature shall expressly provide for. XXX. The freedom of deliberation, speech, and debate, in either house of the Legislature, is so essential to the rights of the people that it cannot be the foundation of any action, complaint, or prose-

cution in any other court or place whatsoever. XXXI. The Legislature ought 'frequently to assemble for the redress of grievances, for correcting, strengthening, and confirming the laws, and for making new ones, as the common good may require. XXXII. The people have a right in an orderly and peaceable manner to assemble and consult upon the common good, give instructions to their representatives, and to request of the legisla- tive body, by way of 2^etition or remonstrance, redress of the

wrongs done them, and of the grievances they suffer. XXXIII. Xo magistrate or court of law shall demand excessive bail or sureties, impose excessive fines, or inflict cruel or unusual

punishments. XXXIV. Xo person can in any case be subjected to law martial, or to any pains or penalties by virtue of that law, except those employed in the army or navy, and except the militia in actual service, but by authority of the Legislature. XXXV. 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 jus- tice. It is the right of every citizen to be tried by judges as impar- tial as the lot of humanity will admit. 46 NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL.

It is therefore not only the best jjolicy, but for the security of the rights of the people, that the judges of the supreme (or sui)erior) judicial court should hold their offices so long as they behave well ;

and that they should have honorable salaries, ascertained and estab- lished by standing laws. XXXVI. Economy being a most essential virtue in all States,

especially in a young one, no pension shall be granted but in consid- eration of actual services, and such pensions ought to be granted with great caution by the Legislature, and never for more than one year at a time. XXXVII. In the government of this State the three essential powers thereof, to wit, the legislative, executive, and judicial, ought to be kept as sej^arate from and independent of each other as the nature of a free government will admit, or as is consistent with that chain of connection that binds the whole fabric of the Constitution in one indissoluble bond of unity and amity. XXXVIII. A frequent recurrence to the fundamental principles of the Constitution, and a constant adherence to justice, modera- tion, temperance, industry, frugality, and all the social virtues, are indispensably necessary to jDreserve the blessings of liberty and good government the people ought, therefore, to have a par- ;

ticular regard to all those principles in the choice of their officers and 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.

PART II.

theless be liable to indictment, trial, judgment, and punishment, accordino; to laws of the land.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

There shall be in the Legislature of this State a representation of the people annually elected and founded upon principles of equal- ity ; and in order that such representation may be as equal as circum- stances will admit, every town, j^arish, or place entitled to town privileges, having one hundred and fifty ratable male polls of twen- ty-one years of age and upwards, may elect one representative if ;

four hundred and ratable polls, may elect two representatives fifty ;

and so proceeding in that proportion, making three hundred such ratable jdoIIs the mean increasing number for every additional representative. Such towns, jDarishes, or places as have less than one hundred and fifty ratable polls shall be classed by the General Assembly for the purpose of choosing a representative and seasonably notified thereof. And in every class formed for the above-mentioned purpose, the firstannual meeting shall be held in the town, parish, or place wherein most of the ratable polls reside, and afterwards in that which has the next highest number, and so on annually, by rotation, through the several towns, parishes, or places forming the district.

parish, or place very inconvenient, the General Assembly may, upon application of a majority of the voters in such town, parish, or place, issue a writ for their electing and sending a representative to the General Court. The members of the House of Rej)resentatives shall be chosen annually in the month of March, and shall be the second branch of the Legislature.

coxstitutio:n'al coxyentions, 1791-1889.

Pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution of 1784, the Legisla- ture, inJune, 1791, ordered precepts to be issued to the several towns and places in this State, to elect delegates to a convention to revise the Constitution. Accordingly town-meetings were held and delegates chosen on the 8th day of August, 1791. The convention met in Con- cord on the 7th day of September following, and continued in session until the 16th of the same month, when, after having appointed a committee to which were referred the Constitution and the amend- ments that had been proposed in convention, the}^ adjourned to the 8th day of February, 1792. The convention reassembled according to adjournment, and pro- ceeded to the consideration of the report of the committee. After adopting seventy-two amendments and making provision for submit- ting them to the people for ratification or rejection at town-meetings to be held on the 7th day of May, 1792, the convention again adjourned to the 30th of the same month. Reassembled according to adjourn- ment, the convention found on canvassing the returns from the several towns that forty-six of the seventy-two amendments had been ratified by the people. But on account of the rejection of so many of the proposed amendments, there were some inconsistencies in the Consti- tution as adopted by the people, to correct which others were prepared and sent to the people to be voted on on the 27th day of August, 1792. The convention on June 5 adjourned to the 5th day of September, when they reassembled, and finding that the supplementary amend- ments had been ratified, dissolved on the same day, having been in existence one year less one day. By an act of the Legislature approved December 14, 1792, that part of the new Constitution relating to the election of officers took effect on the first day of February, 1793, and the whole of said Constitution took effect on the first Wednesday of June of the same year. Not- withstanding several attempts were made to revise it, the Constitution of 1793, without alteration, was the fundamental law of the State for

nearly sixty years. The following table shows the dates of the approval of the several acts of the Legislature subsequent to 1793, providing for taking the

The convention adjourned, without day, on the 17th of April, 1851, after having at the adjourned session prepared and provided for sub- mitting to the qualified voters three amendments, — abolishing the religious test, the property qualification, and providing a new mode of amending the Constitution. The amendment abolishing the property qualification was ratified, the other two were rejected. Under the acts of 1860 and 1864, a majority of the votes in each case was in favor of calling a convention, but the Legislature did not deem it expedient to call one.

A convention met Concord on the 6th day of December, 1876, in the legal voters under the act of 1875 having given a large majority in favor of such a convention. The convention was in session eleven days. All of its proposed amendments excepting two were ratified by the legal voters. The journal of that convention was published and distributed throughout the State. Under the act of 1885 a small vote was cast, but a majority being in favor of a convention, the Legislature of 1887 made provision for one. It met in Concord on the 2d day of January, 1889, and finally

adjourned on the 11th day of the same month. It proposed several amendments, all but two of which were ratified by the people. The following is the Constitution as amended by that convention and ratified by the legal voters on the 12th day of March, 1889: CONSTITUTION OF THE

PART FIRST.

BILL OF RIGHTS. Article All men are born equally free and independent; 1.

therefore government of right originates from the people, is all

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 iuto a state of society they surrender up some of their natural rights to that society, in order to insure the protection of others; and without such an equivalent, the sur- render is void. Art. 4. Among the natural rights, some are in their very nature unalienable, because no equivalent can be given or conceived for them. Of this kind are the rights of conscience. Art. Every individual has a natural and unalienable right to 5.

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 God in the manner and 72 NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL.

season most agreeable to the dictates of his own conscience, or for his religious profession, sentiments, or persuasion, provided he doth not disturb the public peace, or disturb others in their re- ligious worship. Art. 6. As morality and grounded on evangelical piety, rightly and greatest security to government, principles, wi]l give the best men the strongest obligations to due and will lay in the hearts of 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 aud of public instruction in morality and religion, therefore, to promote these important purposes, the people of this State have a right to empower, and do hereby fully empower, the Legislature to authorize, from time to time, the sev- eral 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 contracting with them for their support aud 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, sect, or denomi- nation. And every denomination of Christians, demeaning them- selves quietly and as good subjects of the State, shall be equally under 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- 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 been made. Art. 7. The people of this State have the sole and exclusive right of governing themselves as a free, sovereign, and indepen- dent State, and do, and forever 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 CONSTITUTION OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. 73

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 transmissible to posterity or relations. Art. 10. Government being instituted for the common benefit, the whole community, and not for the protection, and security of private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men, therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted and public liberty manifestly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to, re- form the old or establish a new government. The doctrine of non- resistance 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 electand be elected into office- Art. 12.Every member of the community has a right to be protected 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 the representative body of the people. Nor are the inhabitants of this State controllable by 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 willpay an equivalent. Art. 14. Every subject of this State is entitled to a certain remedy, by having recourse the laws, for all injuries he may to receive in his person, property, or character to obtain right and ;

justice freely, without being obliged to purchase it; completely, and without any denial promptly, and without any delay con- ; ;

formably to the laws. Art. 15. No subject shall be held to answer for any crime or offence until the same is fully and plainly, substantially and form- 74 NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL.

ally,described to him, or be compelled to accuse or furnish evidence against himself. And every subject shall have a ri^ht to produce all proofs that may be favorable to himself, to meet the witnesses against him face to face, and to be full}'' heard in his defence by himself and counsel. And no subject shall be arrested, imprisoned, despoiled or deprived of his property, immunities, or privileges, 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 laws of the land. Art. 36. No subject shall be liable to be tried, after an acquit- tal, for the same crime or offence; nor shall the Legislature make any law that shall subject any person to a capital punishment (ex-

cepting for the government of the army and navy, and the militia in actual service) without trial by jury. Art. 17. In criminal prosecutions, the trial of facts in the

vicinity where they happen is so essential to the security of the life, liberty, and estate of the citizen, that no crime or offence

ought to be tried in any other county than that in which it is com- mitted, except in cases of general insurrection in any particular county, when it shall appear to the judges of the superior court that an impartial trial cannot be had in the county where the offence may be committed, and, upon their report, the Legislature shall think proper to direct the trial in the nearest county in which an impartial trial can be obtained. Art. 18. All penalties ought to be proportioned to the nature of the offence. No wise Legislature will aflSx the same punish- ment to the crimes of theft, forgery, and the like, which they do to those of murder and treason. Where the same undistinguishiug severity is exerted against all offences, the people are led to forget the real distinction in the crimes themselves, and to commit the most flagrant with as little compunction as they do the lightest offences. For the same reason, a multitude of sanguinary laws is both impolitic and unjust, the true design of all punishments being to reform, not to exterminate, mankind. Art. 19. Every subject hath a right to be secure from all un- reasonable 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 CONSTITUTION OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. 75

prosecutions for criminal matters, are contrary to this right, if the cause or foundation of them be not previously supported by oath or affirmation, and if the order, in a warrant to a civil officer, to make search in suspected places, or to arrest one or more sus- pected persons, or to seize their property, be not accompanied with a special designatioii of the persons or objects of search, arrest, or seizure and no warrant ought to be issued but in cases ;

and with the formalities prescribed 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, and except in cases in which the value in controversy does not exceed one hundred dollars and title of real estate is not concerned, 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 mariners' wages, the Legislature shall think it necessary here- after to alter it.

Art. 21. In order to reap the fullest advantage of the inesti- mable privilege of trial by jury, great care ought 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 attend- ance. Art. 22. The liberty of the press is essential to the security of freedom in a State; it ought, therefore, to be inviolably pre- served. 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 offences. Art. 24. Awell-regulated miUtia is the proper, natural, and sure defence of a State. Art. 25. Standing armies are dangerous to liberty, and ought 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 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. 76 NEW HAMPSHIRE MANUAL.

Art. 28. No subsidy, charge, tax, impost, or duty shall be established, fixed, laid, or levied, under any pretext whatsoever, without the consent of the people or their representatives in the Legislature, 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 authority derived therefrom, to be exercised in such particular cases only as the Legislature shall expressly provide for. 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 cannot 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 pub- lic 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 ui)on the common good, give in- structions to their representatives, and to request of the legislative body, by way of petition or remonstrance, redress of the wrongs done them, and of 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 unusual

punishments. 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- ployed 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 impartial 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 limitations on account of age as may be provided by the Constitu- tion of the State and that they should have honorable salaries, ;

ascertained and established by standing laws. CONSTITUTION OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. 77

Art. 36. Economy being a most essential virtue in all States, especially in a young one, no pension should be granted but in con- sideration of actual services; and such pensions ought to be granted with great caution by the Legislature, and never for more than one year at a time. Akt. 37. In the government of this State, the three essential powers thereof — to wit, the legislative, executive, and judicial — ought be kept as separate from, and independent of, each other to as the nature of a free government will admit, or as is consistent with that chain of connection that binds the whole fabric of the Constitution in one indissoluble bond of union and amity. Art. 38. A frequent recurrence to the fundamental principles of the Constitution, and a constant adherence to justice, modera- tion,temperance, industry, frugality, and all the social virtues, are indispensably necessary to preserve the blessings of liberty and good government. The people ought, therefore, to have a partic- ular regard to all those principles in the choice of their oflEicers and 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 necessarv for the good administration of government.

Art. 10. Whenever any town, place, or city ward shall have less than six hundred such inhabitants, the General Court shall authorize such town, place, or ward to elect and send to the Gen- eral Court a representative such proportionate part of the time as the number of its inhabitants shall bear to six hundred; but the General Court shall not authorize any such town, place, or ward to elect and send such representative, except as herein pro- vided.

month of November, to vote, in the town or parish wherein he dwells, for the senator in the district whereof he is a member. Art. 28. Provided, nevertheless, that no person shall be capable of being elected a senator who is not of the age of thirty years, and who shall not have been an inhabitant of this State for seven years immediately preceding his election; and at the time thereof, he shall be an inhabitant of the district for which he shall be chosen. Art. 29. And every person qualified as the Constitution pro- vides shall be considered an inhabitant, for the purpose of elect- ing and being elected into any ofiice or place within this State, in the town, parish, and plantation where he dwelleth and hath his home. Art. 30. And the inhabitants of plantations and places unincor- porated, qualified as this Constitution provides, who are or shall be required to assess taxes upon themselves toward the support of government, or shall be taxed therefor, shall have the same privi- lege of voting for senators, in the plantations and places wherein they reside, as the inhabitants of the respective towns and parishes aforesaid have.

Newport. PRESIDENTS AND GOVERNORS.

In the Constitution of 1784 the style of the chief magistrate was *' The President," which was changed to " Governor" in the Consti- tution of 1793. The following is a list of the Presidents and Governors, with their terms of office, from 1784 to the present time. From 1784 to 1878, inclusive, Presidents and Governors were elected on the second Tuesday of March, annually, and entered into their offices on the first Thursday of June following. The amendments of the Constitution changing the time of election from March to November, and from annual to biennial, took effect in November, 1878. The first biennial election was held November 5, 1878. To ascertain the term of office of any President or Governor, reckon from June of the year against his name, in the list, to June of the year against the next following name.
