There's also is article IX that deals with disqualifications. Apparently if you're a member of the clergy you cannot have a seat in the legislature because God needs you elsewhere. Also, if you deny the existance of God, or if you've been involved in a duel you are not allowed to hold a position of service to the state. Once we purge the athiests from state service, I'm sure we'll have plenty of money to solve the budget crisis.
