All those who are not forbidden by law may be judges (jurors).
And the right is practically established only when and because the government, no longer exists to call it in question.
Juries would refuse to enforce a tax against a man who had never agreed to pay it.
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.
