Lysander Spooner: “And this is a plain violation of men's natural rights.”

The will, or the pretended will, of the majority, is the last lurking place of tyranny at the present day.

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.

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.

All other laws, it is optional with each man to obey, or not, as he may choose.
