ENACTMENT OF LAWS.

Article 3, section 29, Constitution. The style of all laws
of this State shall be, "Be it enacted by the General
Assembly of Maryland;" and all laws shall be passed by
original bill; and every law enacted by the General
Assembly shall embrace but one subject, and that shall
be described in its title; and no law, nor section of law,
shall be revived or amended by reference to its title, or
section only ; nor shall any law be construed by reason of
its title, to grant powers, or confer rights which are not
expressly contained in the body of the Act; and it shall
be the duty of the General Assembly, in amending any
Article, or Section of the Code of Laws of this State, to
enact the same, as the said article or section would read
when amended. And whenever the General Assembly
shall enact any Public General Law, nor amendatory of
any section or Article of the said Code, it shall be the
duty of the General Assembly to enact the same, in
articles and sections, in the same manner, as the Code is
arranged, and to provide for the publication of all ad-
ditions and alterations, which may be made to the said
Code.

Article 3, section 30, Constitution. Every bill, when
passed by the General Assembly and sealed with the
Great Seal, shall be presented to the Governor, who, if
he approves it, shall sign the same in the presence of
the presiding officers and Chief Clerks of the Senate and
House of Delegates. Every law shall be recorded in the
office of the Court of Appeals, and, in due time, be printed,
published and certified under the Great Seal, to the
several Courts, in the same manner as has been hereto-
fore usual in this State.
