Yup. The Constitution of any state you'd want to live in is a must read. There's no telling what sort of nasties some of them are hiding.

Interesting.
I was reading a Sci-Fi novel . . . and it mentioned something it claimed was from the New Hampshire Bill of Rights - 1784.

I thought it was an author making something up . . .
Till I looked it up.

>>>
State Constitution - Bill of Rights
Part 1, Bill of Rights, of the New Hampshire State Constitution.

. . . . Skip . . .

[Art.] 10. [Right of Revolution.] Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection, 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 nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
June 2, 1784

I think the whole thing might just be worth reading and contemplating.
