Article I. Declaration of Rights. [applicable excerpts]
Sec. 4.  The free exercise  and enjoyment of religious profession and wor-
        ship,  without  discrimination  or  preference,  shall  forever be
        allowed in this State; and no person shall be rendered incompetent
        to be a witness on account of his opinions on matters of religious
        belief; but the liberty  of conscience, hereby secured,  shall not
        be so construed as to acts of licentiousness, or justify practices
        inconsistent with the peace or safety of this State.
Sec. 9.  Every citizen may freely speak, write, and publish his sentiments
        on all subjects,  being responsible for  the abuse of  that right;
        and no law shall be passed  to restrain or abridge the liberty  of
        speech or of  the press. In  all criminal prosecutions  on indict-
        ments for libels, the truth may be given in evidence to the  jury;
        and if  it shall  appear to  the jury  that the  matter charged as
        libelous is  true, and  was published  with good  motives and  for
        justifiable ends, the party shall be acquitted; and the jury shall
        have the right to determine the law and the fact.
