They are all mere questions of natural justice, which legislatures have no power to alter, and with which they have no right to interfere, further than to provide for having them settled by the most competent and impartial tribunal that it is practicable to have, and then for having all just decisions enforced.
Spooner asserts that natural justice is beyond the reach of legislative alteration, emphasizing its fundamental nature.

A man has a natural right to enforce his own rights and redress his own wrongs.
And the right is practically established only when and because the government, no longer exists to call it in question.
In this manner all unjust laws are established, and made operative against the rights of the people.
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.
