Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Vol. 1 of 4: From the Fourteenth Day of October, One Thousand Seven Hundred, to the Twentieth Day of March, One Thousand Eight Hundred and Ten; Republished, Under the Authority of the Legislature; With Notes and References Humbly Shew, That whereas the late King Charles the second, in the three and thirtieth year of his reign, by letters patent under the great seal of England, did (for the consideration therein mentioned) grant unto William Penn, and his assigns, this colony or tract of land, thereby erecting the same into a province, calling it Pennsylvania, and constituting the said William Penn absolute Proprietary of the said Province (saving amongst other things the sovereignty thereof) thereby also granting unto the said William Penn, his deputies and lieutenants, by virtue of the said royal charter, full, free and absolute power, by and with the assent of the freemen of the said province, to make, enact and publish, any laws whatsoever, for any end, appertaining either to the public state, peace or safety of the said country, or unto the private utility of particular persons, according to their best discretion. Which laws, so as aforesaid made and published, the said late King did, by the said letters patent, enjoin, require and command, should be most absolute and available in law, and that all the liege people and subjects of the said late King, his heirs and successors, should observe and keep the same inviolably in these parts. But that the laws for regulating and governing of property within this province, and likewise as to felonies, might be and continue the same as they should be for the time being, by the general course of the law of England, until the said laws should be altered by the said William Penn, and by the freemen of the said province, their delegates or deputies, or the greater part of them. And to the end the said William Penn, or the inhabitants of this province, might not at any time thereafter, by misconstruction or colour of the powers aforesaid, or by pretence of the said laws thereafter to be made, through inadvertency or design, depart from the faith and allegiance, which, by the laws of England, they and all the Kings subjects in his dominions always owe to him, his heirs and successors, he, the said late King, did, by his letters patent, declare it to be his further will and pleasure, that a duplicate of all the laws, so as aforesaid made and published, should, within five years after the making thereof, be transmitted and delivered to the Kings Privy Council for the time being. And if any of the said laws, within the space of six months after that they were so transmitted, should be declared by the said King, his heirs or successors, or his or their Privy Council, inconsistent with the sovereignty or lawful prerogative of the said King, his heirs or successors, or contrary to the faith and allegiance due to the legal government of England from the said William Penn, or the planters and inhabitants of the said province, and that thereupon any of the said laws were adjudged and declared to be void by the said King, his heirs or successors, under his or their Privy Seal, that then, and from thenceforth, such laws, concerning which the said judgment and declaration were made, should become void, otherwise the laws so transmitted should remain and stand in full force, according to the true intent and meaning thereof. By virtue of which letters patent, and pursuant to the powers, provisos and restrictions therein specified, divers reasonable and wholesome laws were made, transmitted, and presented to the said King and Privy Council.
