According to the Constitution, the following is the Power of the Legislative Body;
“And farther, full power and authority are hereby given and granted to the said general court, from time to time, to make, ordain, and establish, all manner of wholesome and reasonable orders, laws, statutes, ordinances, directions, and instructions, either with penalties, or without, so as the same be not repugnant or contrary to this constitution, as they may judge for the benefit and welfare of this state, and for the governing and ordering thereof, and of the subjects of the same, for the necessary support and defense of the government thereof,” Constitution of New Hampshire, Form of Government, Article 5 (Power to Make Laws, Elect Officers, Define Their Powers and Duties)
…NH RSA 4:45 State of Emergency Declaration; Powers, is repugnant and contrary to the Constitution of New Hampshire. Said statute expanded the powers of the executive branch without the consent of the people and, as such, has been achieved by violating the procedural due process provided for by the Constitution to achieve such an outcome.
The Constitution of New Hampshire (the Law of the Land) may not be amended by the legislative body (General Court). That power is retained to and may only be exercised by the people, the Sovereign, the creator of the laws of the land…”
A remonstrance is what is filed to protest against any legislative act that is repugnant or contrary to the Constitution of New Hampshire. It is a legal document drafted and submitted by the people to demand protection of our Constitutional rights.
