More from Lysander Spooner

What else than ignorance of the law is it that excuses persons under the years of discretion, and men of imbecile minds?

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.

It is also sheer impudence, on their part, to assume that their commands are at all necessary to teach other men what is, and what is not, justice.

In this manner all unjust laws are established, and made operative against the rights of the people.
