NEW COUNTIES.
SECTION 1. The General Assembly may provide, by law,

seats, and changing county lines; but no new county shall be

said new county; and whenever a new county shall be pro-
posed to be formed out of portions of two or more counties,

each of said counties, respectively, shall be required; nor
shall the lines of any county be changed without the con-
sent of a majority of the legal voters residing within the
district, which, under said proposed change, would form a
part of a county different from that to which it belonged
prior to said change, and no new county shall contain less.
