In that case the trial is really a trial by the government, and not by the jury.
It would be a solecism and absurdity in government to allow such consequences as these.
And yet these reasons, which are really no reasons at all, are the only ones, so far as I know, that have ever been offered for this absurd and brutal doctrine.
There is no more absurdity in giving a jury a veto upon the laws, than there is in giving a veto to each of these other tribunals.
