STARRED. Heading verbatim: '1832 = Enero 5 = S. Luis Rey / J.é M.a Echeandia al Ayunta.o de Mont.y'. Entry verbatim: 'Que la California debe estar sujeta á dos Constituciones, la federal y la particular y que solo tiene la primera con otras leyes generales en que no se previenen los medios para la suspension del Gefe politico Cuando abusa de su oficio, cuyos medios se leen en la Constitucion particular que presentaron á la Cámara los representantes de 9 de Enero 1828.' Gloss: California ought to be subject to two constitutions, the federal and its own particular one, and possesses only the first plus general laws, which do not provide the means of suspending the jefe político when he abuses his office, means that are found in the particular constitution laid before the Chamber by the representatives on 9 January 1828. Written eight weeks after the overthrow of Manuel Victoria, this is Echeandía arguing the constitutional ground for deposing a governor.
