20 MARYLAND MANUAL.

Art. 29. That Standing Armies are dangerous to liberty,
and ought not to be raised, or kept up, without the consent of
the Legislature.

Ait. 30. That in all cases, and at all times, the military
ought to be under strict subordination to, and control of, the
civil power.

Art. 31. That no soldier shall, in time of peace, be quar-
tered in any house, without the consent of the owner, nor in
time of war, except in the manner prescribed by Law.

Art. 32. That no person except regular soldiers, marines,
and mariners in the service of this State, or militia, when in
actual service, ought, in any case, to be subject to, or punish-
able by Martial Law.

Art. 33. That the independency and uprightness of Judges
are essential to the impartial administration of Justice, and
a great security to the rights and liberties of the People;
wherefore, the Judges shall not be removed, except in the
manner, and for the causes, provided in this Constitution. No
Judge shall hold any other office, civil or military or political
trust, or employment of any kind whatsoever, under the Con-
stitution or Laws of this State, or of the United States, or
any of them; or receive fees, or perquisites of any kind, for

therefore, in those Departments is one of the best securities
of permanent freedom.

Art. 35. That no person shall hold, at the same time more
than one office of profit, created by the Constitution or Laws
of this State; nor shall any person in public trust receive
any present from any foreign Prince or State, or from the
United States, or any of them, without the approbation of
this State.

Art. 36. That as it is the duty of every man to worship
God in such manner as he thinks most acceptable to Him, all
persons are equally entitled to protection in their religions
liberty; wherefore, no person ought, by any law to be molest-
ed in his person or estate, on account of his religious persua-
sion or profession, or for his religious practice, unless, under
the color of religion, he shall disturb the good order, peace
or safety of the State, or shall infringe the laws of morality,
or injure others in their natural, civil or religious rights; nor
ought any person to be compelled to frequent, or maintain,
or contribute, unless on contract, to maintain any place of
worship or any ministry; nor shall any person, otherwise
competent, be deemed incompetent as a witness, or juror, on
