Arkansas Motto
"Regnat populus"
(The People Rule)
Adopted in 1907.
Language: Latin

"Regnat populus" has been translated as: "The People Rule." A 1907 act changed the motto to its current language from "Regnant Populi," the motto selected in 1864. The exact origin of this motto is somewhat obscure.
