Lysander Spooner: “Those who deny the right of a jury to protect an individual in resisting an unjust law of the government, deny him all…”

That the legislation of the king was of no authority over a jury, is further proved by the oath taken by the kings at their coronation.

It is also sheer impudence, on their part, to assume that their commands are at all necessary to teach other men what is, and what is not, justice.

A man has a natural right to enforce his own rights and redress his own wrongs.

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.
