THE CHEROKEEAN
What do we mean when we say
that in the United States we have
a government of law" and not a
government of men"? Basically
we mean that we have certain tri
dividual rights, guaranteed by our
federal and state constitutions and
laws, which may not he denied
by any governing body
The early American colonists
had their fill of government by
men, and the Declaration of In
dependence, signed 184 years ago,
set out their complaints agairi.st
that type of government arid re
vealed their fx-hef in a principle
which we now accept a.s basic
to our American way of life
The indictments set out in th<
d'M'ument against King George IN
of ('■n-iit Britain charged hirn with
numerous violations of that prin
ciple Among the complaint, en-
umerated are the following;
llf has dissolved Representa
live Houses repeatedly fur oppos
in« with minly firmness his in
vasions on the rií;hts of the peo
pie "
"He has obstructed the adminis
tration of justice, by refusing his
assent for Jaws for establishing
judiciary powers "
He hi. made judges dependent
upon his will alone, for the tenure
of their offices, and the amount
and payment of their salaries "
"He has refused his assent to
laws the most wholesome and
necessary for the public good "
"He has combined with others
to subject us to a jurisdiction for
eign to our constitution, arid un
acknowledged by our laws, giving
his assent to their acts of preten/1
ed legislation For depriving
us in many rases of the benefits
of trial by jury For transporting
us beyond seas to be tried for
pretended offenses, For taking
away our charters, abolishing our
most valuable laws and al'ering
fundamentally the forms of our
governments, For suspending
our own legislature-, and declar
in;' themselvc' invested with pow
er In legislate for us in all cases
whatsoever
Our forefather- who subscribed
to the principle, of the Declara-
tion of Independence were willing
to fight for their beliefs The
Revolutionary War followed, drag
gmg through weary years of suf
fering and .suspense, Kach of us
lakes pride in their eventual tri
umph over gigantic obstacles
In I7B7, when the frarners of
our Constitution met at Independ
ence Hall in Philadelphia, wheri-
the Declaration of Independence
had been ii^ned 11 years previous-
ly, they set to work to create a
system of checks and balances in
government which was to per
petuate the fundamental theory
mentioned in the preamble of the
earlier document
We hold these truths to be self
evident That all men are created
equal, that they are endowed by
their Creator with certain uriah
enable rights; that amoru; these
are life liberty, and the pursuit
of happiness
'I hat to secure these rights
governments are instituted among
men. deriving their just powers
from the consent of the governed
Some r> years later, the first ten
amendment.; u our Constitution!
were adopted at one time, specifi
(ally detailing various basic civil
rights stemming from the tinder
lying theory of the Declaration of
Independence.
Our courts day by day guard
these rights for us

Constitufion
Defines Treason
The h,.itor> of liberty often
hows that a would be tyrant likes
to accuse his opponents of treason
So, to safeguard our liberty the
constitution itvelf set-, out the
kind of proo^we need t . find some
one guilty of treason
For thi. reason America has
had relatively few cases of treason,
Not so in early English and Rom
an law "Treasonous acts ' covered
many things, in fact, anything that
seemed to tlj-eaten the community
safety
In the fourteenth century the
Knglish tried to de/ine treason
Since every subject owed allegi-
ance to the king, trivial breaches
of a private nature became ' pet-
ite CsmalD treason " But a subject
disloyal enough as to attack or
plot against the king himself was
guilty of 'high treason.
The kings liked this: For one
to imagine the king's death be-
came treason subject to death.
The broadened treason widened
further to include crimes against
private persons I^ater even the
king himself was not exempt: In
lí¡49 they indicted, convicted, and
beheaded King '"'liarles I for trea-
son
King Henry VIII made it high
treason to slander Queen Anne or
her children. Failure to take an
oath not to slander the queen it
self became treason.
Under Elizabeth I it became
treason for anyone to hold a rel-
igion which did not conform to
the crown's.
Conviction of treason was easy
In some cases you needed no wit
nesses Trials were short and the
accused could not have defense
counsel.
In conflicts for power, the los-
ing politicians often became "trait
ors" as they do in many countries
to this day Our early settlers lived
in troubled times with the coming
revolution creating new factions.
For them treason was also a fre
quent accusation.
But after the revolution tin.'
founding fathers and the people
had had enough
They decided to limit treason"
and faced these problems: Should
the new executive put down rebel-
lious ikI define treasons himself?
Should the Congress during
"troubled times" have power to de-
fun' treason?
No. The new Consitution took
treason out of politics It said trea-
son shall consist only of levying
war against the United States or
in giving aid and comfort to the
enemy "
Conviction required testimony ¡
of two witnesses to the same overt
act.
