Forms of Constitutions

A constitution is the formal written agreement making the fundamental law which binds the parties who associate. In preparation of this, useless words should be avoided.

The constitution, after having been adopted, should be engrossed in a blank book, and signed by the members. Amendments or alterations should be entered in the same book, with the date of their adoption, in the shape of a copy from the minutes; and a side-note inserted in the margin of the constitution, opposite the article amended, showing on what page the amendment may be found.
