Lysander Spooner: “Therefore labor cannot be free, unless we have freedom in money, and free trade with all mankind.”

The people considered their jurisprudence as a part of their inheritance.

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

Therefore all their laws, as they call them,--that is, all the laws of their own making,--have no color of authority or obligation.

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.
