So that's where it came from . . .

From Virginia's Constitution of 1830:
Indictments shall conclude, Against the peace and dignity of the commonwealth.
I've seen that language in all sorts of indictments and always wondered where it came from.

And, just so nobody out there who is writing or approving indictments freaks out, it's not in the current constitution.
