Lysander Spooner: “Every man has, by nature, certain judicial powers, or rights.”

A man has a natural right to enforce his own rights and redress his own wrongs.

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.

The presumption clearly is that all were eligible.
