Interesting trivia about the Confederate Constitution

[Recursion]

1. The President had a six year term, and could only serve one of them

2. The President had a line-item veto

3. The Bill of Rights was directly incorporated rather than a series of amendments

4. Amendments required 2/3rds of the states' support rather than 3/4ths

5. Laws passed by Congress had to deal with only one subject

6. The Confederate Congress could impeach state officials.

I don't like the 1st provision because it creates a class of "Presidential" senators who only stand for election during Presidential election years. 2-6 are interesting, though.

1. The Confederates never shut down a newspaper or jailed an editor, either.

But Lincoln did several.

Constitution.
