Lysander Spooner: “If the government dictate the standard of trial, it of course dictates the results of the trial.”

Since Magna Carta, we have evidence showing quite conclusively that all freemen, above the age of twenty-one years, were eligible as jurors.

Juries would refuse to enforce a tax against a man who had never agreed to pay it.

All those who are not forbidden by law may be judges (jurors).

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.
