By virtue of the provisions of the Constiution, the General Assembly established a commission, which is called "The Permanent Judicial Commision of the General Assembly," and is composed of eight ministers and seven ruling elders, arranged in three classes, of whom not more than two members shall belong to the same synod. The written Constitution of the United States is copied from Presbytery Law.
