In the constitution, it is stated what
laws are applicable to the kingdom at
large. A single chief cannot make law,
not even his majesty the king, but the
chiefs must assemble according to the re-
quircmcnts of the constitution. Where
fore if single governor pursue an incor-
rect course, the fault is his own; it does
not attach to the kingdom, until the king
and PRIMER approve the act then the
kingdom is involved.


There are many little evils existing in
villages, which the general laws of the ma
llon cannot correct, for the circumstances
of one village are unlike the circumstan-
ces of another village, wherefore, the fol-
lowing edc,s have been agreed to:


|. If the people Of any village, town.
ship, district, or state, consider themselves
afflicted by any particular evils in conse-
qnencc of there being no law which is ap-
picable, it shall be lawful for them to 90
to tax officer Judge, or any chief, and
he Shall give notice to all the people of
the place, who may assemble at the place
mentioned by the officer. Then they
may devise law which will remedy their
difficulties. If they shall agree to any
rule, then that rule shall become law
for that place, but for no other. 1t shall
not however be in their power to make
any law which is at variance with any law
of the Kingdom, nor on subject of uni
versal importance.


But laws respecting roads, fences, ami
mails, and all such like things they may
pass.
