A Declaration of Rights, not unlike the Federal Bill of Rights, is set forth in the State Constitution, in which the principle embodied in the Constitution of 1849 is reaffirmed: “All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for their protection, security, and benefit, and they have the right to alter or reform it when the public good may require.” 19
California’s historical position with regard to the federal government is stated as follows: “The State of California is an inseparable part of the United States of America, and the United States Constitution is the supreme law of the land.” 20

Chapter II
