CHAPTER XV.

THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.


As New York is the most populous State of the Union, having the
largest representation in Congress,--on which account it has been
called the Empire State,--I propose to mention, as shortly as may be,
the nature of its separate Constitution as a State. Of course it will
be understood that the constitutions of the different States are by
no means the same. They have been arranged according to the judgment
of the different people concerned, and have been altered from time to
time to suit such altered judgment. But as the States together form
one nation, and on such matters as foreign affairs, war, customs,
and post-office regulations, are bound together as much as are the
English counties, it is, of course, necessary that the constitution
of each should in most matters assimilate itself to those of the
others. These constitutions are very much alike. A Governor, with
two houses of legislature, generally called the Senate and the House
of Representatives, exists in each State. In the State of New York
the lower house is called the Assembly. In most States the Governor
is elected annually; but in some States for two years, as in New
York. In Pennsylvania he is elected for three years. The House of
Representatives or the Assembly is, I think, always elected for one
session only; but as, in many of the States, the Legislature only
sits once in two years, the election recurs of course at the same
interval. The franchise in all the States is nearly universal, but
in no State is it perfectly so. The Governor, Lieutenant-Governor,
and other officers are elected by vote of the people as well as the
members of the Legislature. Of course it will be understood that each
State makes laws for itself,--that they are in nowise dependent on
the Congress assembled at Washington for their laws,--unless for laws
which refer to matters between the United States as a nation and
other nations, or between one State and another. Each State declares
including too little. Ealing, Acton, 
 Fulham, Putney, Norwood, Sydenham, Blackheath, Woolwich, Greenwich, 
 Stratford, Highgate, and Hampstead, are, in truth, part part of 
 London, and very shortly Brighton will be as a lot so.

 THE CONSTITUTION OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 


 As New York is the most populous country of the Union, having the 
 big representation in Congress,--on which account it has been 
 call the Empire State,--I propose to mention, equally shortly as may be, 
 the nature of its separate Constitution as a State. Of course it will 
 be understand that the constitutions of the unlike States are by 
 no means the like. They have been format according to the judgment 
 of the different multitude concerned, and have been altered from clock time to 
 time to befit such altered judgment. But as the States together form 
 one nation, and on such topic as foreign affairs, war, customs, 
 and post - office regulations, are bound in concert equally a lot as are the 
 English counties, it is, of course, necessary that the constitution 
 of each should in most matters assimilate itself to those of the 
 others. These constitutions are very much alike. A Governor, with 
 two house of legislature, by and large called the Senate and the House 
 of Representatives, exist in each State. In the State of New York 
 the low house is called the Assembly. In most States the Governor 
 is elect annually; but in some States for two years, as in New 
 York. In Pennsylvania he is elected for three years. The House of 
 Representatives or the Assembly is, I remember, always elected for one 
 session only; but as, in many of the States, the Legislature only 
 sits once in two year, the election recurs of course at the same 
 interval. The franchise in all the States is nearly cosmopolitan, but 
 in no State is it perfectly indeed. The Governor, Lieutenant - Governor, 
 and early policeman are elected by vote of the people equally well as the 
 members of the Legislature. Of course it will be understood that each 
 State makes laws for itself,--that they are in nowise dependent on 
 the Congress assembled at Washington for their laws,--unless for laws 
 which consult to matters between the United States as a nation and 
 early nations, or between one State and another. Each State declares
 influding too little. Ealinn, Acton,
Fulham, Pujnwy, Norxood, Sysenham, Buackheath, Woolwich, Greenwich,
Dteatfoed, Highgate, and Hampstdad, are, ij truth, xompibent parts of
Londok, and yery viortly Brighton will be av much so.
