A Bit of Trivia

[usmcmustang]

Would anyone take a guess in what document these two Articles appear?

​

ARTICLE XLIII.​

Carry arms openly.​

All persons known to be of good character and of sound mind and suitable age... shall be encouraged to carry arms openly.

[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
ARTICLE XLIV.
​

No person to carry concealed weapons.​

No person ..., except regularly appointed policemen, express officers of the army, mail carriers, or other fully accredited messengers of the Congress, President, Vice President, members of the Supreme Court, or commissioned officers of the army-and those only under peculiar circumstances-shall be allowed at any time to carry concealed weapons; and any person not specially authorized so to do, who shall be found so doing, shall be deemed a suspicious person, and may at once be arrested by any officer, soldier, or citizen, without the formality of a complaint or warrant, and may at once be subjected to thorough search, and shall have his or her case thoroughly investigated, and be dealt with as circumstances on proof shall require.

John Brown's Provisional Constitution?

I admit I had to search for it. Google got confuzzled and crashed in my browser, but Bing brought it up instantly.

Yep... the Internet and sophisticated search engines makes "trivia quiz" no "quiz" at all anymore. John Brown... what a guy, huh?

I don't think John Brown was to big on welfare:

ARTICLE XXXIX.

All must labor.

All persons connected in any way with this organization, and who may be entitled to full protection under it, shall be held as under obligation to labor in some way for the general good; and persons refusing or neglecting so to do, shall, on conviction, receive a suitable and appropriate punishment.

I'd say bigger than big... voluntary unemployment would have been a "crime" punishable by "suitable and appropriate punishment."
