Best Answer

Pairing the pronoun (I, we, he) in the future tense is accomplished by replacing the word "will" or "shall" with the contracted form "(apostrophe) LL" . (I'll, we'll, he'll) -- While the use of the negative "won't" is common, the form "shan't" is seldom used. When it does receive use, many writers incorrectly omit the apostrophe. Extra credit : The word "won't" is a contraction of the now-archaic "woll not", which shortened to "wonnot" (similar to cannot).

Why does the Constitution state that a representative when elected shall not be an inhibitant of the state when elected?

It is to make certain that representatives chosen for a particular state are actually residents of that state. So, the Constitution does not truly say that. Unfortunately, double negatives were commonly used back in those days. Article 1, Section 2 states: "No person shall be a representative who shall not have attained to the age of twenty-five years, and been seven years a citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen." So while those words are in the Constitution, they have to be read with the opening words: "No person shall be a representative who. . .shall not be an inhabitant of the state in which he shall be chosen. No provision is truly clear unless it shall not use a double negative. Like I just did. Is this clear?
