It seems to have been misplaced.

    Caesar Rodney was supposed to deliver it but he said “Fuck it, somebody else can be the hero this time” and slept in instead.

    “Repealed”.

    Bears looking into. I thought constitutions got amended, not repealed. It was about the State Board Of Health. Maybe they took it out of the Constitution and put it into the code.

    We we lost the Board of Health what difference would it make. Div of Public Health does what? How many people work there? One of the 7 agencies that we could do without…let them put Div of Health under some other umbrella agency that actually does something.

    About once a year they swing by a restaurant and make sure their sanitizer water has the right ppm, that’s about it.

    Oh, and look up flu patterns on Google to kill their spare time.

    Anon, you can amend a constitution by repealing one of its Articles or portions of Articles. Our Amendments to the US Constitution have done that. Repealing the 3/5th clause, repealing the clause allowing for appointment of Senators, etc.

    Yes, but the original text as well as the repeal amendment should remain with the Constitution and becomes part of the text. But where is the repeal amendment for Article 12?
