The cases demanding such convocation of the Diet are tile following. ift. In a prefiing necessity concerning the law of the nation, and particularly in cafe of a neigh bouring war. 2d. In cafe of'an internal commotion, mena cing the revolution of the country, or of a collu sion between magillratures. 3d. 111 an evident danger of general famine. 4th.

Every resolution of this Council fliall be iff'ued tinder the King's lignature, countersigned by one of the Minilteis fitting therein ; and thusfigned, ftiall be obeyed by all executive departments, ex cept in cases expressly exempted by the present Constitution. Should all the members refufe their counter lign to any resolution.the King is obliged to fore go his opinion ; but if he should perfilt in it, the Marshal of the Diet may demand the convocation of the Diet ; and if the King will not, the Mar shal himfelf shall fend his circular letters as a bove.

If it lliouhl happen that two thirds of secret Votes in both Houses, demand the changing of any person, ehher in Council, or any Executive department, the King is bound to nominate ano ther. Willing that the Council of Inspection (hould be responsible to the nation for their actions, we decree that, when these Minilters are denounced and accused before the Diet (by the fpecia] Com mittee appointed for examining their proceed ings) of any tranfgreflion of positive law, they are answerable with their persons and fortunes. Such impeachments being determined by a Am ple majority of votes, collected jointly from both floufes, /hall be tried immediately by the com mital tribunal, where the accused are to receive their final judgment and punilhment, if found guilty ; or to be honorably acquitted, on fuffici cient proof of innocence. In order to form a neceflary organization of the Executive power, we eftabli/h hereby sepa rate commilfions, connected with the above Coun cil, and fubjetfted to obey its ordinations. These com millions are, tft, of Education ; 2 d of Police ; 3d, of War ; 4th, of Treafnry.
