SECTION 6. That elections of members to serve as representatives of

the people, in assembly, ought to be free; and that all men, having

sufficient evidence of permanent common interest with, and attachment

to, the community, have the right of suffrage, and cannot be taxed

or deprived of their property for public uses, without their own

consent, or that of their representatives so elected, nor bound by any

law to which they have not, in like manner, assented, for the public

good.[131]
