LUIS GRAU The Constitution of the State of Georgia, unanimously agreed to in Convention, the fifth of February, 1777 Whereas the conduct of the legislature of Great-Britain for many years past has been so oppressive on the people of America, that of late years they have plainly declared and asserted a right to raise taxes upon the people of America, and to make laws to bind them in all cases whatsoever, without their consent; which conduct being repugnant to the common rights of mankind, hath obliged the Americans, as freemen, to oppose such oppressive measures, and to assert the rights and privileges they are entitled to by the laws of nature and reason; and accordingly it hath been done by the general consent of all the people of the States of New-hampshire, Massachusetts-Bay, Rhode-Island, Connecticut, New- York, New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, the Counties of Newcastle, kent, and Sussex on Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North-Carolina, South-Carolina, and Georgia, given by their Representatives met together in General Congress in the city of Philadelphia. And whereas it hath been recommended by the said Congress, on the fifteenth of May last, to the respective Assemblies and Conventions of the United States, where no government, sufficient to the exigencies of their affairs, hath been hitherto established, to adopt such government as may, in the opinion of the Representatives of the people, best conduce to the happiness and safety of their Constituents in particular, and America in general: And whereas the Independence of the United States of America has been also declared, on the fourth day of July, one thousand seven hundred and seventy-six, by the said honorable Congress, and all political connection between them and the Crown of Great-Britain is in consequence thereof dissolved: We, therefore, the Representatives of the people, from whom all power originates, and for whose benefit all government is intended, by virtue of the power delegated to us, do ordain and declare, and it is hereby ordained and declared, that the following rules and regulations be adopted for the future government of this State. I. 2 The legislative, executive, and judiciary departments shall be separate and distinct, so that neither exercise the powers properly belonging to the other. II. The legislature of this State shall be composed of the Representatives of the people, as is hereinafter pointed out: and the Representatives shall be elected yearly, and every year, on the first Tuesday in December; and the Representatives so elected, shall meet the first Tuesday in January following, at Savannah, or any other place or places where the house of Assembly for the time being shall direct. 2. En Poore y Thorpe los párrafos se numeran “ARTICLE I - Art. II - Art. III...”, etc. 244
CONSTITUCIÓN DE GEORGIA 1777 La Constitución del Estado de Georgia, acordada por unanimidad en convención el 5 de febrero de 1777 Considerando que la conducta del legislativo de Gran Bretaña desde hace muchos años ha sido tan opresiva con el pueblo de América que en los últimos años han declarado abiertamente y afirmado un derecho a recaudar impuestos al pueblo de América y a aprobar leyes que en todas las circunstancias les obligan sin su consentimiento; cuya conducta, incompatible con los derechos comunes de la humanidad ha obligado a los Americanos, como freemen, a combatir contra tales medidas opresivas y a hacer valer los derechos y privilegios a que tienen derecho según las leyes de la naturaleza y de la razón; y así lo ha hecho todo el pueblo de los Estados de Nueva hampshire, Bahía de Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Nueva York, Nueva Jersey, Pennsylvania, los condados de New Castle, kent y Sussex sobre el Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Carolina del Norte, Carolina del Sur y Georgia, según han decretado sus representantes reunidos en Congreso general [Continental] en la ciudad de Filadelfia. Y considerando que el pasado 15 de mayo [1776] dicho Congreso [Continental] ha recomendado a las respectivas asambleas y convenciones de los Estados Unidos en las que hasta ahora no se haya establecido suficiente gobierno para [cubrir] las exigencias de sus asuntos, que adopten el gobierno que en opinión de los representantes del pueblo mejor pueda contribuir a la felicidad y seguridad de sus electores en particular y de América en general: Y considerando que la independencia de los Estados Unidos de América ha sido declarada el 4 de julio de 1776 por dicho honorable Congreso, y que por tanto toda conexión política entre ellos y la Corona de Gran Bretaña se ha disuelto: Nosotros, por tanto, los representantes del pueblo, de quien provienen todos los poderes y para cuyo beneficio se destina todo gobierno, en virtud del poder delegado en nosotros, ordenamos y declaramos, y por la presente se ordena y declara que para el futuro gobierno de este Estado se adopten las siguientes reglas y regulaciones: I. Los departamentos legislativo, ejecutivo y judicial estarán separados y diferenciados, de forma que ninguno ejerza los poderes que apropiadamente pertenecen a otro. II. El legislativo de este Estado estará compuesto por los representantes del pueblo que más adelante se indica; y los representantes serán elegidos anualmente y todos los años el primer martes de diciembre; y los representantes así elegidos se reunirán el primer martes de enero siguiente en Savannah o en otro lugar o lugares donde la cámara de la asamblea de ese momento determine. 245
