Posted by Eugene Volokh: Alabama Constitution, Article I, § 35: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2006_11_12-2006_11_18.shtml#1163714988
"That the sole object and only legitimate end of government is to protect the citizen in the enjoyment of life, liberty, and property, and when the government assumes other functions it is usurpation and oppression." Says so right there, in the constitution. _______________________________________________ Volokh mailing list [email protected] http://lists.powerblogs.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volokh
