	The Constitution of North Carolina (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		North Carolina has had three Constitutions in her history as a State: the Constitution of 1776, the Constitution of 1868, and the Constitution of 1971.
		Constitutional amendments usually were drafted in response to particular problems experienced or anticipated and generally they were limited in scope so as to achieve the essential goal, while arousing minimum unnecessary opposition.
		Constitutional draftsmen have not been so convinced of their own exclusive hold on wisdom or so doubtful of the reliability of later generations of legislators that they found it necessary to write into the Constitution the large amount of regulatory detail often found in state Constitutions.

	North Carolina Law Review
		The North Carolina Constitution of 1868 adopted the language of the second amendment to the federal Constitution as the first phrase of its provision concerning the right to bear arms.
		The decision is unlikely to start North Carolina down the slippery slope toward a total ban on firearms [91] because it is in keeping with the State's tradition of reaching a reasonable balance between the individual's right to bear arms and the State's need to police dangerous weapons.
		The position taken by the North Carolina courts respects the wisdom of the drafters of our constitution on the need for a free people to have access to arms to protect their liberties, while allowing the General Assembly the discretion to protect the public from unreasonable risks.

		No effort, apparently, was ever made to punish those who as principals, seconds or surgeons had participated in such encounters, it having been considered that the law of North Carolina had not been violated unless the duel had actually been fought on its soil.
		McDowell was the friend of both these gentlemen; and, although he waited forty-nine years after the duel had been fought, and himself was in his eighty-first year before committing his recollection of that lamentable event to paper, it must be accepted as the most authentic, because the only, account now available of that affair.
		The belligerants, realizing that a duel in the circumstances would most likely be interfered with by the authorities of North Carolina or Tennessee, announced publicly that the effort to have the encounter take place had been abandoned and all parties started on their return to Asheville.
