MR. BURGESS: So far as C is concerned, if you
|
|
3
|
want me to — I don't know that I am prepared; I didn't
|
|
4
|
know how to answer or make a comment about that, exactly,

Article 11, as Annapolis being the place of the meeting

|

|
of the Legislature and that the Legislature ought not to

|
be convened, or held at any other place but from evident
|
|
9
|
necessity, I don't know that that is so necessary, but I

Article 10, on freedom of speech and debate, or proceeding

|
12
|
in the Legislature, ought not to be impeached in any
|
|
13
|
court of judicature. Also, why you would want to elimi-
|
|
14
|
nate redress of grievances, Article 12, and for amending,
|
|
15
|
strengthening and preserving the law that the Legislature
|
|
16
|
ought to be frequently convened.

THE CHAIRMAN: Do those items belong in a Bill
|
|
18
|
of Rights? Maybe, if they are important, they should be
|
|
19
|
in some other section of the Constitution. This report
|
|
20
|
that you have was an interim report prepared by our
|
|
21
|
reporter, and I thought it was only for Committee use,
