Forty-third Legislature. House. No. 28 Resolve proposing amendments to the constitution of the United States [1864] Grave differences of opinion
on federal versus states' rights have existed for years. To prevent a recurrence of the present calamity, we offer eight amendments. 1. The right of
secession is not a reserved right of a state. 2. Nullifying acts of Congress is not a reserved right. 3. The federal government may subdue acts of
invasion or rebellion, but nullifying habeas corpus may only be done by an act of Congress. 4. When the majority of the population of a state is in
rebellion, it cannot legalize slavery and will be governed by the federal government. 5. The country will pardon the offenses of rebellious states once
people pledge allegiance to the federal government. 6. Income from any property shall be taxed equally. 7. The President shall serve for six years
and may not run again. 8. Secretaries of Departments will be elected by the House of Representatives. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of title
