New Hampshire's Constitutional Right to Revolution

Several peace activists arrested in December are invoking Article 10 of the state's Constitution as their defense. It reads:

Government being instituted for the common benefit, protection and security of the whole community and not for the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men; therefore, whenever the ends of government are perverted, and public liberty manifestly endangered and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought to reform the old, or establish a new government. The doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power, and oppression, is absurd, slavish and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.
