Lysander Spooner: “Or how do you know what is, and what is not, justice?”

Since Magna Carta, we have evidence showing quite conclusively that all freemen, above the age of twenty-one years, were eligible as jurors.

It was simply, that they would neither convict the innocent, nor acquit the guilty.

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

Practically speaking, no government knows any limits to its power, except the endurance of the people.
