* ''Cockrum v. State'', 24 Tex. 394, [https://texaslegalguide.com/images/24_Tex._394.pdf#page=8 401-02] (1859) ("The object of the clause first cited, has reference to the perpetuation of free government, and is based on the idea, that the people cannot be effectually oppressed and enslaved, who are not first disarmed. The clause cited in our bill of rights, has the same broad object in relation to the government, and in addition thereto, secures a personal right to the citizen. . . . It is one of the 'high powers' delegated directly to the citizen, and 'is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the law-making power.") | * ''Cockrum v.
