STATE O'F NEW-YORK;
Moptcb November 3, 1846.
TOGETHER WITH
MARGINAL NOTES AND A COPIOUS INDEX:
PREPARED BY L R. ELWOOD, EsQ. LATE CLERK OF THE SENATE.
Wherever the same or a similar provision exists in the old Constitution, a marginal
reference is made to such provision, and, in most cases, alterations are pointed out
by note, or by printing them in italics.
The other citations refer to statutes which have been incorporated into this Con-
stitution, or which relate to similar subjects ;-to executive, legislative and judi-
cial opinions upon parts of the old Constitution which are still retained ; and, to
report and the action of the Legislature, leading to the history of various new
provisions, and thereby tending perhaps to elucidate their meaning.
[These references, though not pretended to be complete, it is hoped may be con-
venient and useful.]
WE, THE PEOPLE of the State of New-York, grateful to
Almighty God for our freedom: in order to secure its
blessings, DO ESTABLISH this Constitution.
