Rights are found in the Declaration of Rights (Article I) of the New Jersey Constitution, adopted in 1947

 The New Jersey Constitution explicitly states that all political power is inherent in the people, establishing that government exists for their benefit and can be altered by them. It guarantees the right to "alter or reform" government for the public good and grants the power to recall elected officials. [1]

Key aspects of self-governance in the NJ Constitution:
  • Inherent Power & Reform (Article I, Paragraph 2a): "All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for the protection, security, and benefit of the people, and they have the right at all times to alter or reform the same, whenever the public good may require it".
  • Recall Power (Article I, Paragraph 2b): The people reserve the right to recall elected officials (state or federal) after one year of service, provided a petition of at least 25% of registered voters is submitted.
  • Rights of Association (Article I, Paragraph 19): Workers have the right to organize, and public employees can present grievances and proposals through representatives. [1, 2]
These rights are found in the Declaration of Rights (Article I) of the New Jersey Constitution, adopted in 1947
