Excerpt from Constitution of the State of Ohio: Agreed Upon in Convention May 14, 1874 Religion, morality and knowledge, however, being essential to good government, it shall be the duty of the general assembly to pass suitable laws, to protect every religious denomination in the peaceable enjoyment of its own mode of public worship, and to encourage schools and the means of instruction. Sec. S. The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended, unless, in case of rebellion or invasion, the public safety require it, and then only in such manner as shall be prescribed by law. Sec. 9. All persons shall be bailable by sufficient sureties, except for capital offenses where the proof is evident, or the presumption great. Excessive bail shall not be required; nor excessive fines imposed; nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. Sec. 10. Except in cases of impeachment, and cases arising in the army or navy, or in the militia when in actual service in time of war or public danger, and in cases of petit larceny and other inferior offenses, no person shall be held to answer for a capital, or other infamous crime, unless on presentment or indictment of a grand jury. In any trial, in any court, the party accused shall be allowed to appear and defend in person and with counsel; to demand the nature and cause of the accusation against him, and to have a copy thereof; to meet the witnesses face to face, and to have compulsory process to procure the attendance of witnesses in his behalf, and a speedy public trial by an impartial jury of the county or district in which the offense is alleged to have been committed; nor shall any person be compelled, in a criminal case, to be a witness against himself, or be twice put in jeopardy for the same offense. Sec. 11. Every citizen may freely speak, write and publish his sentiments on all subjects, being responsible for the abuse of the right; and no law shall be passed to restrain or abridge the liberty of speech, or of the press. In all criminal prosecutions for libel, the truth may be given in evidence to the jury, and if it shall appear to the jury that the matter charged as libelous is true, and was published with good motives, and tor justifiable ends, the party shall be acquitted. Sec. 12. No person shall be transported out of the State, for any offense committed within the same; and no conviction shall work corruption of blood or forfeiture of estate. Sec. 13. No soldier shall, in time of peace, be quartered in any house, without the consent of the owner; nor in time of war, except in the manner prescribed by law. Sec. 14. The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and possessions, against unreasonable searches and seizures shall not be violated; and no warrant shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, particularly describing the place to be searched, and the person and things to be seized. Sec. 15. No person shall be imprisoned for debt in any civil action, on mesne or final process, unless in cases of fraud. Sec. 16. All courts shall be open; and every person, for an injury done him in his land, goods, person or reputation, shall have remedy by due course of law; and justice administered without denial or delay. Sec. 17. No hereditary emoluments, honors or privileges shall ever be granted or conferred by this state. Sec. 18. No power of suspending laws shall ever be exercised, except by the general assembly.
