REMARKS OP
'.HI!, UZH82D& 02 233;'.
On Constitutional Amendments, c-
; Mr. Speaker : I cannot permit the; occa
sion to pass, without expressing myvTieVt in .
regard to amending the Constitution of North
Carolina. In addressing the house cn ihia
subject, r shall not attempt to adorri; ray o-
i ? i t . , - r t-
pions wita anytnmg nice . oeautiiui cr.eio
quent language. I could not do this, if I
would on any subject and I vould -nokdo.it
f I could on a subject like the present i
There are three propositions pending be-
ore ine Jiouse, eacn oi wniconasjwrespec
ive advocates. Fitst, there is the bill of thp
gentleman from Rerlford (Mr. Rayner) whic
provides, that thegieople Bhall vote- m Mzy
ucai, ior, or agonist cnange in ua.g vqasu
tution, and in case a maionty of tho duoli-
fied voters For the House of Commons; shtll
vote for a .change, then a convention is to as?
semble and amend the Constltutioiii by in :
corporating into it free suffrage, and nothio
else. Secondly, there is the bill of the ffen-
leman from Davidson (Afr. Foster) whict -
provides that the people shall vote for,' or
against a Convention, and in case a majority
of the qualified voters for the House of Com
mons shall vote for a Convention - then an
unlimited Convention shall assembler TThird
there is the bill reported by the commiU
tee on amendments to the Constitiitionlwhich
provides that free suffrage shall be made' a
part of :the Cohstilrition by : Legislative' cilr
actment.. ' '. ' ' j
I cannot vote for the proposition: of the gen?
leman from Hertford And while I alterhptto
discuss this bill and that of the gentleman frora
Davidson, I hope that each one of those" who
hear me will keep in mind the Constitution
as it is. This bill proposes not that two thirds
of each House shall directly call a' Conven
tion, but that two thuds of each House $hul
comer upon a majority oi tue people ma
power and discretion to do so. Now.
respect the voice of a majority of the peo
ple as much as ' any man upon earth. As
much however, as I respect it, I feel mors
respect for the Constitution as long : as it re?
mains uncnangea. we are ait solemnly
sworn to support that Constitution. It pro
vides that "no Convention of the people shall
be called by the General Assembly, unless
&y tne concurrence oi two tnirus ot all tne
members of each House of the General As-
semDiy. mis is tne only part or clause of
ine vonsuiuuon wnicn speaKs oi a conven
tion tri any way, shapeor form. A Conven
tion therefore, whichshall assemble or bo
called in anyother; way, or by virtue of any
her authority than the clause in question
will clearly be an illegal and an unconstia-
tional one. p; ,t;. .;V;-5,W;''-r
What then do tKese worda mean? Thev
are a part of the Constitution' and are the
subject of Judicial Construction. What would
the Supreme Court of our State say of them?
First, it is perfectly clear, that they ve it in
the two Houses of the Legislature, .the pow
er and the discretion, by a vote of two thirds
of each House, to call a Convention directly
without consulting the people on the subject.
It is equally clear, that there is nothing in
il. .. ... 1 L. . 4 - U 4 I . t..
uic.wurus iiiciusci vKa iu suuvv lum ,iuey
mean any ' thing more. But it is said, that
having the right to call it ourselves, we have
tne rignt to can it, h a majority oi tne peo
ple say so; that when they vote to call it
their action will relate back to the present
time and become our action. I deny that
we can thus delegate to a bare majority of
the people a power which is to be used only
we thus d e legate it by a vote of two" thirds
of each House. Each member here is to be
regarded as speaking the voice of his peo
ple. What then is the proposition before us
in substance ? Two thirds of the people arck
requisite to call a Convention. Theyrefusi
to taxe so serious ana responsioie a step oy
a vote of two thirds, yet they confer on a
bare majority,the power to do so. Again jtto ;
Legislators refuse directly to call a Convenv
tion, but vote for it provided a majority cf
the peoole are for it. i Now. thv sunocse a
majority of the people already to hcvovcted
for it and no more than a majority. Shall
the voice of a mere majority draw to itself
enou.o-h more to make two thirdi without
any reason for it more than the mere power
oi iue luajuuiy. 11 so wny noes wis vcasu-
tution require two thirds to chzno it Why
does it not say that a bare: majority is to do
with it as it pleases. If a bore crjerity is
to be omnipotent, I ask wht do tto XTZzt
with any Constitution at all.
r Those "who oppose thi 8 argurr.tnt, cdinifr'
that two thirds of each House arc indirri
sable to call a Ccnvehticn. They fc'-?'
