if this Convention believed it to be the case that the
legislature could in fact do this by statute. I believe
that GP-1 is not the timeliest kind of concept which is
going to survive in all of the detailed language set forth
therein over the period of two or three generations.
I suspect that this is the kind of provision that is going
to be back before the voters and people of Maryland on
Constitutional amendments from time to time, which we
as members of this Constitutional Convention have sought
to block.
In other words, in meeting here we are seeking
to get rid of statutory type details. We are seeking to
prevent the continued submission of language to people
of the State of Maryland. Since the Legislature can ade-
quately cope with the problem of the militia by statute
it seems to me this is not of Constitutional stature
or place or dignity. I urge that it be omitted altogether
from this Constitution.
THE CHAIRMAN: Is there any further discussion?
The question arises on the approval by the
Committee of the Whole of Committee Recommendation GP-I |
