If the authority be vested in the government, the governmnt is absolute, and the people have no liberties except such as the government sees fit to indulge them with.
It was simply, that they would neither convict the innocent, nor acquit the guilty.
In this manner all unjust laws are established, and made operative against the rights of the people.
All those who are not forbidden by law may be judges (jurors).
