(3) "That the government is, or ought to be, instituted for the common benefit, protection and security of the people, nation or community; of all the various modes and forms of government, that is best which is capable of producing the greatest degree of happiness and safety, and is most effectually secured against the danger of maladministration; and, whenever any government shall be found inadequate or contrary to these purposes, a majority of the community hath an indubitable, inalienable and indefeasible right to reform, alter or abolish it, in such manner as shall be judged most conducive to the public weal"--Thus, the objective of a government is to benefit, protect and preserve security for the people. The best type of government is that which results in the greatest happiness and safety of all those whom it governs. Whenever a majority of those being governed consider such government as not attaining such an objective, they have a right to change it, reform it, or, if deemed wise, to abolish it as long as it is done in a legal manner considered for the good of all involved. (4) "That no man, or set of men, is entitled to exclusive or separate emoluments or privileges from the community, but in consideration of public services; which not being descendible, neither ought the offices of magistrate, legislator or judge to be hereditary"--Thus, the amount of financial profit or gain received by an office-holder in any community is to be based solely upon his rendering public service to the community. Consideration of birth, influence or wealth is to be ignored, and office-holding itself cannot be automatically inherited or handed down from father to son. (5) "That the legislative, executive and judicial departments of the State should be separate and distinct; and that the members thereof may be restrained from oppression, by feeling and participating the burthens of the people, they should, at fixed periods, be reduced to a private station, return into that body from which they were originally taken, and the vacancies be supplied by regular elections, in which all or any part of the former members shall be again eligible, or ineligible, as the laws may direct"--Thus, the principle of the separation of powers is set forth, that is, the legislative, executive and judicial departments are organized as three separate, independent departments. Officials should have specific terms of office and should be elected for designated periods of time at the end of which time they should return to their former private status and be eligible for re-election if the law provides for such an opportunity.
