This Bill is entirely a Breach of the Constitution

conviction by a court or Jury, take away the rights of
a rtrial by a Jury of their Peaers Makes an Expose facto
law, and a Bill of the Attainder, and takes away the rights
of Franchise of, Latter Day Saints for their Religion

opinions sake. But if the Nation can stand it
