The flag bears three stripes consisting of red - white - red, and a blue canton containing a ring of 13 white stars encompassing the state's coat of arms in gold . In the coat of arms, the arch symbolizes the state's constitution and the pillars represent the three branches of government: legislative, executive, and judicial . The words of the state motto, "Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation", are wrapped around the pillars, guarded by a male figure dressed in colonial attire dating back to the time of the American Revolutionary War . Within the arms, a sword is drawn to represent the defense of the state's constitution . An additional motto, In God We Trust, is positioned underneath these elements acting as the state's "foundation".
