Why should they not have such an administration of justice as they desire, and can understand?
The will, or the pretended will, of the majority, is the last lurking place of tyranny at the present day.
It was a principle of the Common Law, as it is of the law of nature, and of common sense, that no man can be taxed without his personal consent.
