Book Description
Excerpt from The Constitution of the Society of Sons of the Revolution The General Society shall be divided into State Societies, which shall meet annually on the day appointed therefor in their respective By-Laws, and oftener if found expedient: and at such annual meeting the reasons for the institution of the Society shall be considered, and the best measures for carrying them into effect adopted. The State Societies at every annual meeting shall choose a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary, a Registrar, a Treasurer, a Chaplain, and such other officers as may by them respectively be deemed necessary, and a Board of Managers, all of whom shall retain their respective positions until their successors are duly chosen. Each State Society shall cause to be transmitted annually or oftener to the other State Societies, a circular letter calling attention to whatever may be thought worthy of observation respecting the welfare of the Society or of the general union of the States, and giving information of the officers chosen for the year; and copies of these letters shall also be transmitted to the General Secretary to be preserved among the records of the General Society. The State Societies shall regulate all matters respecting their own affairs, consistent with the general good of the Society; judge of the qualification of their members or of those proposed for membership, subject, however, to the provisions of this Constitution: and expel any member, who, by conduct unbecoming a gentleman or a man of honor, or by any opposition to the interests of the community in general or of the Society in particular, may render himself unworthy to continue in membership.
