All those who are not forbidden by law may be judges (jurors).
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.
In this manner all unjust laws are established, and made operative against the rights of the people.
Since Magna Carta, we have evidence showing quite conclusively that all freemen, above the age of twenty-one years, were eligible as jurors.
