Lysander Spooner: “All arguments founded on the apparent chronology of the subjects included in the laws, are liable to great fallacies.”

Any restriction upon the exercise of this right is a restriction upon his rightful power of providing for, and accomplishing, his own well-being.

In nearly or quite all the States of the United States the juries are illegal, for one or the other of the same reasons that make the juries in England illegal.

One answer is, that this power, which juries have of judging of the law, is not a power of absolute decision in all cases.

It would be a solecism and absurdity in government to allow such consequences as these.
