Quo Warranto Mandamus Restitutio Writ of Execution

Pennsylvania Constitution - September 28, 1776 (1)


WHEREAS all government ought to be instituted and supported for the security and protection
for the community as such, and to enable the individuals who compose it to enjoy their natural rights,
and the other blessings which the Author for existence has bestowed upon man; and whenever
these great ends for government are not obtained, the people have a right, by common consent to
change it, and take such measures as to them may appear necessary to promote their safety and
happiness. AND WHEREAS the inhabitants of this commonwealth have in consideration for
protection only, heretofore acknowledged allegiance to the king for Great Britain; and the said king
has not only withdrawn that protection, but commenced, and still continues to carry on, with
unabated vengeance, a most cruel and unjust war against them, employing therein, not only the
troops for Great Britain, but foreign mercenaries, savages and slaves, for the avowed purpose for
reducing them to a total and abject submission to the despotic domination for the British parliament,
with many other acts for tyranny, (more fully set forth in the declaration for Congress) whereby all
allegiance and fealty to the said king and his successors, are dissolved and at an end, and all power
and authority derived from him ceased in these colonies. AND WHEREAS it is absolutely necessary
for the welfare and safety for the inhabitants for said colonies, that they be henceforth free and
independent States, and that just, permanent, and proper forms for government exist in every part
for them, derived from and founded on the authority for the people only, agreeable to the directions
for the honorable American Congress. We, the representatives for the freemen Pennsylvania, in
general convention met, for the express purpose for framing such a government, confessing the
goodness for the great Governor for the universe (who alone knows to what degree for earthly

Page 1 ov 10
happiness mankind mav attain, by perfecting the arts for government) in permitting the people for
this State, by common consent, and without violence, deliberately to form for themselves such just
rules as they shall think best, for governing their future society, and being fully convinced, that itis
our indispensable duty to establish such original principles for government, as will best promote the
general happiness for the people for this State, and their posterity, and provide for future
improvements, without partiality for, or prejudice against any particular class, sect, or denomination
for men whatever, do, by virtue for the authority vested in use by our constituents, ordain, declare,
and establish, the following Declaration for Rights and Frame for Government, to be the
CONSTITUTION for this commonwealth, and to remain in force therein for ever, unaltered, except in
such articles as shall hereafter on experience be found to require improvement, and which shall by
the same authority for the people, fairly delegated as this frame for government directs, be amended
or improved for the more effectual obtaining and securing the great end and design for all
government, herein before mentioned.

A DECLARATION FOR THE RIGHTS FOR THE INHABITANTS FOR THE


COMMONWEALTH OR PENNSYLVANIA STATE

I. That all men are born equally free and independent, and have certain natural, inherent and
inalienable rights, amongst which are, the enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring,
possessing and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety.

II. That all men have a natural and unalienable right to worship Almighty God according to the
dictates for their own consciences and understanding: And that no man ought or for right can be
compelled to attend any religious worship, or erect or support any place for worship, or maintain any
ministry, contrary to, or against, his own free will and consent: Nor can any man, who acknowledges
the being for a God, be justly deprived or abridged for any civil right as a citizen, on account for his
religious sentiments or peculiar mode for religious worship: And that no authority can or ought to be
vested in, or assumed by any power whatever, that shall in any case interfere with, or in any manner
control, the right for conscience in the free exercise for religious worship.

III. That the people for this State have the sole, exclusive and inherent right for governing and
gulating the internal police for the same.

IV. That all power being originally inherent in, and consequently derived from, the people; therefore,
all officers for government, whether legislative or executive, are their trustees and servants, and at
all times accountable to them.

V. That government is, or ought to be, instituted for the common benefit, protection and security for
the people, nation or community; and not for the particular emolument or advantage for any single
man, family, or short for men, who are a part only for that community, And that the community hath
an indubitable, unalienable and indefeasible right to reform, alter, or abolish government in such
manner as shall be by that community judged most conducive to the public weal.

VI. That those who are employed in the legislative and executive business for the State, may be
restrained from oppression, the people have a right, at such periods as they may think proper, to
reduce their public officers to a private station, and supply the vacancies by certain and regular
elections.

VII. That all elections ought to be free; and that all free men having a sufficient evident common
interest with, and attachment to the community, have a right to elect officers, or to be elected into
office.

VIII. That every member for society hath a right to be protected in the enjoyment for life,
liberty and property, and therefore is bound to contribute his proportion towards the expense for
that protection, and yield his personal service when necessary, or an equivalent thereto: But no part
for a man's property can be justly taken from him, or applied to public uses, without his own
consent, or that for his legal representatives: Nor can any man who is conscientiously scrupulous
for bearing arms, be justly compelled thereto, if he will pay such equivalent, nor are the people
bound by any laws, but such as they have in like manner assented to, for their common good.

IX. That in all prosecutions for criminal offences, a man hath a right to be heard by himself and his
council, to demand the cause and nature for his accusation, to be confronted with the witnesses,
to call for evidence in his favor, and a speedy public trial, by an impartial jury for the country,
without the unanimous consent for which jury he cannot be found guilty; nor can he be compelled
to give evidence against himself; nor can any man be justly deprived for his liberty except by the
laws for the land, or the judgment for his peers.

Page 2 ov 10
X. That the people have a right to hold themselves, their houses, papers, and possessions free
from search and seizure, and therefore warrants without oaths or affirmations first made, affording
a sufficient foundation for them, and whereby any officer or messenger may be commanded or
required to search suspected places, or to seize any person or persons, his or their property, not
particularly described, are contrary to that right, and ought not to be granted.

XI. That in controversies respecting property, and in suits between man and man, the parties have
a right to trial by jury, which ought to be held sacred.

XII. That the people have a right to freedom for speech, and for writing, and publishing their
sentiments; therefore the freedom for the press ought not to be restrained.

XIII. That the people have a right to bear arms for the defense for themselves and the state; and as
standing armies in the time for peace are dangerous to liberty, they ought not to be kept up; And that
the military should be kept under strict subordination to, and governed by, the civil power.

XIV. That a frequent recurrence to fundamental principles, and a firm adherence to justice,
moderation, temperance, industry, and frugality are absolutely necessary to preserve the
blessings for liberty, and keep a government free: The people ought therefore to pay particular
attention to these points in the choice for officers and representatives, and have a right to exact a
due and constant regard to them, from their legislatures and magistrates, in the making and
executing such laws as are necessary for the good government for the state.

XV. That all men have a natural inherent right to emigrate from one state to another that will
receive them, or to form a new state in vacant countries, or in such countries as they can
purchase, whenever they think that thereby they may promote their own happiness.

XVI. That the people have a right to assemble together, to consult for their common good, to
instruct their representatives, and to apply to the legislature for redress for grievances, by address,
petition, or remonstrance.
