Lysander Spooner: “The judicial and executive officers are all equally guaranteed against all responsibility to the people.”

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

That the legislation of the king was of no authority over a jury, is further proved by the oath taken by the kings at their coronation.

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.

It would also be making them consent to what they regard as the destruction of their own rights.
