It was simply, that they would neither convict the innocent, nor acquit the guilty.
And nobody is bound to take the least notice of them, unless it be to trample them under foot, as usurpations.
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.
In this manner all unjust laws are established, and made operative against the rights of the people.
