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

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

And yet these reasons, which are really no reasons at all, are the only ones, so far as I know, that have ever been offered for this absurd and brutal doctrine.

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

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