In this post we will look at Article X of the Oregon State Constitution. This article deals with the Militia. The Militia is the Oregon National Guard and there is an Oregon Military Department which is under the executive branch.
Section 1
This section directs the Legislature to write laws regarding the militia for the defense and protection of the state. Since times have changed, there does not seem to be a need for the defense and protection of the state. However, having a force which can respond in emergencies is definitely a social good for public security.
Section 2
This section provides for conscientious objectors.
Section 3
This section defines that the top military officer is the Adjutant General and that this person will recommend to the Governor who are to be officers and that these officers are commissioned and appointed by the Governor.
