Under the law no person was allowed to marry until twenty-one years of
age, male and female, and any person violating this law was punished by
one year's imprisonment at hard labor in the district in which this law
had been violated. In no case was a Government physician permitted to
receive any compensation for services rendered as physician, for they
were the servants of the people, elected by the people in every district
and paid by the Government a salary fixed by law, and no bonds were
required of them or of any public official, for the people elected every
public official with the exception of officers in the Army and Navy, who
were elected by the soldiers up to the grade of Colonel, and the
Brigadiers and Major-Generals were appointed by the Minister of War, was
was Commander-in-Chief and directed all the operations of the Army and
Navy in war, and also the agents of the Department of Information, who
were appointed by the Minister of that department on the recommendation
of his assistant chiefs, of whom there was one in every district who was
elected by the people after having passed a successful examination
showing their ability to do the work required of them.
