* ''Francois v. State'', 9 Tex.Ct.App. 144, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/009_TexCtApp_144.pdf#page=3 146] (1880) ("Sect. 3, Art. I., of the Constitution of 1876 is a literal copy of sect. 2 of Art. I. of the Constitution of 1869, as quoted above, and sect. 29 of the same Constitution is a literal copy of the twenty-third section of the Constitution of 1869, also quoted above. These provisions, it is contended, abrogate art. 386 of the Penal Code, which was passed previously—on the twelfth day of February, 1858. It is also contended that art. 386 is in contravention of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States. We do not propose to discuss anew these questions.") | * ''Francois v. State'', 9 Tex.Ct.App. 144, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/009_TexCtApp_144.pdf#page=3 146] (1880) ("Sect. 3, Art.

* ''Bohl v. State'', 3 Tex.Ct.App. 683, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/003_TexCtApp_683.pdf#page=2 684-85] (1878) ("Two provisions of the Constitution of 1876 (now in force) are relied upon as specially prohibiting the passage and enforcement of such laws. The first is the 3d section of the Bill of Rights, article 1, which is in these words: 'All freemen, when they form a social compact, have equal rights, and no man or set of men is entitled to exclusive separate public emoluments or privileges but in consideration of public services.' . . . | * ''Bohl v.

The principle enunciated in the 3d section of the Bill of Bights is to be found expressed in the same language in each of the Constitutions under which the people of Texas have lived since the organization of the state government. Const. 1845, art. 1, sec. 2; Const. 1866, art. 1, sec. 2; Const. 1869, art. 1, sec. 2. And under those Constitutions the decisions heretofore rendered, holding Sunday laws constitutional, were made by our courts.") | ||
