From The Massachusetts Constitution,
Chapter V, Section II
The Encouragement of Literature, etc....
Wisdom, and knowledge,
as well as virtue,
diffused generally among
the body of the people,
being necessary for
the preservation of their
rights and liberties…
It shall be the duty of
legislatures and magistrates,
In all future periods
of this commonwealth,
To cherish the interests of literature.
