However, the General Assembly's ratification included a lengthy list of caveats, including that "the powers of government may be reassumed by the people whensoever it shall become necessary." The ratification also contained a list of proposed amendments to the Constitution that Rhode Island wished to see taken up, such as abolition of the slave trade. Rhode Island Congressman Benjamin Bourne took his seat that year on August 31. The Rhode Island General Assembly took 101 years to ratify the Constitution's 17th amendment.

This obligation urges under pain of sin when there is danger of death. In danger of death, therefore, if a priest be not at hand to administer the sacrament, the sinner must make an effort to elicit an act of perfect contrition. The obligation of perfect contrition is also urgent whensoever one has to exercise some act for which a state of grace is necessary and the Sacrament of Penance is not accessible. Theologians have questions how long a person may remain in the state of sin, without making an effort to elicit an act of perfect contrition.

Only fundamental rights under the American federal constitution and adjudications are applied to Puerto Ricans. Various other U.S. Supreme Court decisions have held which rights apply in Puerto Rico and which ones do not. Puerto Ricans have a long history of service in the U.S. Armed Forces and, since 1917, they have been included in the U.S. compulsory draft whensoever it has been in effect. Though the Commonwealth government has its own tax laws, Puerto Ricans are also required to pay many kinds of U.S. federal taxes, not including the federal personal income tax for Puerto Rico- sourced income, but only under certain circumstances.

In the early days of sail, the use of signals to communicate between ships was primitive, as seen by one admiral's instructions to his fleet in 1530: > "Whensoever, and at all tymes the Admyrall doth shote of a pece of Ordnance, > and set up his Banner of Council on Starrborde bottocke of his Shippe, > everie shipps capten shall with spede go aborde the Admyrall to know his > will.", p.77, quoting from W. G. Perrin, "British flags" (Cambridge, 1922). By 1653, the Royal Navy had issued instructions by which an admiral could signal various orders by hoisting flags in various locations on his ship.

Virginia's final ratification resolution stated: "[T]hat the powers granted under the Constitution, being derived from the people of the United States, be resumed by them whensoever the same shall be perverted to their injury or oppression, and that every power, not granted thereby, remains with them, and at their will." The records of the state ratifying conventions include over three dozen statements in more than half the states asserting that the federal courts would have the power to declare laws unconstitutional.Prakash and Yoo, "The Origins of Judicial Review", 70 U. of Chicago Law Review at p. 965.

A believer in the necessity of parliamentary contribution to government,"All wise princes, whensoever there was cause to withstand present evils or future perils...have always addressed themselves to their Parliaments." Quoted by Croft, p 76. Salisbury proposed to the Commons, in February 1610, an ambitious financial scheme, known as The Great Contract, whereby Parliament would grant a lump sum of £600,000 to pay off the king's debts in return for ten royal concessions,For example, Salibury proposed to reform, and, when pressed, to abolish, the resented Court of Wards, through which the Crown seized any vacant fiefs where the heir was under age and sold them on its own account.

However William intended to travel to Ireland, and so another Act was necessary to provide for the administration of the kingdom while he was abroad.

The tendency for the close corporation to treat the members of the governing body as the only corporators, and to repudiate the idea that the corporation was answerable to the inhabitants of the borough if the corporate property was squandered, became more and more manifest as the history of the past slipped into oblivion. The corporators came to regard themselves as members of a club, legally warranted in dividing the lands and goods of the same among themselves whensoever such a division should seem profitable. Even where the constitution of the corporation was not close by charter, the franchise tended to become restricted to an ever-dwindling electorate, as the old methods for the extension of the municipal franchise by other means than inheritance died out of use. At Ipswich in 1833 the "freemen" numbered only one fifty-fifth of the population.

Locke affirmed an explicit right to revolution in Two Treatises of Government: > "whenever the Legislators endeavor to take away, and destroy the Property of > the People, or to reduce them to Slavery under Arbitrary Power, they put > themselves into a state of War with the People, who are thereupon absolved > from any farther Obedience, and are left to the common Refuge, which God > hath provided for all Men, against Force and Violence. Whensoever therefore > the Legislative shall transgress this fundamental Rule of Society; and > either by Ambition, Fear, Folly or Corruption, endeavor to grasp themselves, > or put into the hands of any other an Absolute Power over the Lives, > Liberties, and Estates of the People; By this breach of Trust they forfeit > the Power, the People had put into their hands, for quite contrary ends, and > it devolves to the People, who have a Right to resume their original > Liberty."Powell, Jim (1 August 1996). "John Locke: Natural Rights to Life, > Liberty, and Property".

He immediately gained notoriety with his election- day sermon delivered before the Governor and General Court in which he boldly declared: > All forms of government originate from the people ... As these forms have > originated from the people, doubtless they may be changed whensoever the > body of them choose, to make such an alteration. and as a liberal in politics, Holyoke was also an eloquent spokesman of new spirit of toleration that was softening the strict tenets of New England Calvinism. To minister or pastors, he had insisted on occasions, that governments > should have no hand in making any laws with regard to the spiritual affairs > of their people ... [and] have no right to impose their interpretations of > the laws of Christ upon their flocks ... Every Man therefore is to judge for > himself in these things. At first, there were about 100 students at Harvard being taught by the president and four tutors.
