Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the adjusted text of the Massachusetts Constitution, making the key laws easier to understand for every seeker of justice and good citizenship. Legislators, teachers, and young people will find it useful; yet, it especially aids the earnest citizen who wishes to better know and follow their state's constitution. Informed citizenship is the heart of this book, and the author's hope is to reward that informed citizenship with a more accessible and relevant founding document. The adjusted text combines the original body of the Constitution with all 28 amendments. The author streamlined intricate sentences, replaced obsolete words, and modernized legal speech into common English. Side words and citations from the original text are placed in narrow left-hand margins. The author acknowledges that many clauses are due for an overhaul, but maintains that accessibility and familiarity are the first steps towards reform. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
