WHEREAS, In the Providence of God, victory having crowned the forces of the United States of America in upholding the principles of the Nation against Great Britain in the conflict known as the War of 1812; we, the survivors and descendants of those who participated in that contest, have joined together to perpetuate its memories and victories, to collect and secure for preservation, rolls, records, books and other documents relating to that period; to encourage research and publication of historical data, including memorials of patriots of that era in our National history; to care for and, when necessary, assist in burying actual veterans of that struggle; to cherish, maintain and extend the institutions of American freedom, and foster true patriotism and love of country.

The General Society shall be composed of State Societies, which shall meet annually, on the day appointed therefor in their respective by-laws, and oftener if they shall deem it necessary. The State Societies shall choose annually such officers for their own government and in such manner as shall be set forth in their respective by-laws, and shall transmit annually to the General Society a list of the officers so chosen for the year and such other information as may be of interest to the Society at large. Each State Society shall conform in the 8538-2 (17) 18 character of its officials to those of the General Society, and shall regulate all matters respecting its own affairs, and shall judge of the qualifications of members therein. Provided, always, That the action of such State Society be, in all cases, in conformity with the provisions of this Constitution. ARTICLE III. OFFICERS AND EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. The officers of the General Society shall consist of a President-General, a Vice-President-General for each State Society represented, a Secretary- General and Assistant Secretary-General, a Treasurer-General and Assistant Treasurer-General, a Registrar-General, a Surgeon-General, a Judge-Advo- cate-General and a Chaplain-General. They shall be chosen by ballot at the regular meeting of the Society, by and from members in good standing, and shall serve until the next regular meeting or until their successors are duly chosen. There shall be an Executive Committee, consisting of the officers of the General Society and a delegate from each State Society, to be chosen by ballot at the regular meeting of the General Society, upon selection by the respective State delegation hereinafter provided for. It shall be the duty of said Committee, nine (9) members of which shall constitute a quorum, to supervise the affairs of the General Society, as well as the admission of State Societies, and transact such other business as may come before it. The said Committee shall meet in the City of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania, once in every six (6) months, during the time intervening between the meetings and subject to the approval of the General Society. ARTICLE IV. MEETINGS. The regular meeting of the General Society shall be held every second year, on or about the nineteenth day of June, being the anniversary of the declaration of war by the United States against Great Britain, and special meetings may be held upon the order of the President-General, or upon the request of two (2) State Societies.

ARTICLE V. FORMATION OF STATE SOCIETIES. The General Society shall be located in the City of Philadelphia, in the State of Pennsylvania. The Executive Committee thereof shall have the right at any of its meetings to warrant, constitute and recognize one State Society in any State or Territory of the United States, whenever ten (10) or more persons who are already members or are eligible to membership in this Society, and residing in said State or Territory, shall apply for authority to organize such Society, or where such Society may already be formed and is approved by this Society.
