suggestion to eliminate Articles 10, 11, 12, 24 which, of
|
|
2
|
course, is obsolete with reference to slavery, 28, 29,
|
|
3
|
30, 31, and 32, having to do with maintenance of militia,
|
|
4
|
standing armies, subordination of military power to civil
|
|
6
|
power, quartering of soldiers and marshal law. I concur
|
|

|
that Article 41 with reference to monopolies and 42 pro-
|
|
7
|
viding that no title of nobility be granted, should be
|
|

|
eliminated.

"It is my understanding a Declaration of
|
|
10
|
Rights should be only a statement of rights reserved for
|
|
11
|
the people, notwithstanding the fact that these rights
|
|
12
|
may be given protection -- and I think they generally
|
|
13
|
are -- by the" United States Ccr.stitution.

"I am not sure this has been very helpful to
|
|
15
|
you, but it may give you something from which you can
|
|
16
|
digest a statement to go to Mr. Brooks after you have
|
|
17
|
incorporated the thinking of other members of the
|
|
18
|
Executive Committee."

|
Now, the other members of the Executive
|
|
20
|
Committee studied this, they got it before I saw it
|
|
21
|
today, and they have concurred in Mr. Beatty's statement.
