Art. 6. That all persons invested with the Legislative or Executive
powers of Government are Trustees of the Public, and as such, account-
able for their conduct: Wherefore, 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 non-
resistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish and
destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.

An act of assembly delegating the power of taxation to certain taxable
inhabitants, held not to violate this article. Burgess v. Pue, 2 Gill, 19.

ment ; for this purpose elections ought to be free and frequent, and every

ought to have the right of suffrage.
