[Amended Ref. of 11-6-1990, Sec. 7]
We, the residents of Pawtucket, do hereby declare that the City
of Pawtucket is the people who inhabit the geographic area designated
by the State of Rhode Island as Pawtucket. The purpose of this Charter
is to set forth the form, substance, obligations, and limitations
of the government of our city. Nothing in this Charter shall be construed
to remove, limit, or negate any rights that we the people of Pawtucket
possess as guaranteed by the United States and Rhode Island Constitutions.
It is indeed the primary responsibility of the government created
by this Charter to insure these rights.
