Lysander Spooner: “I cannot delegate to A any right to make laws--that is, laws of his own invention--and compel Z to obey them.”

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

All other laws, it is optional with each man to obey, or not, as he may choose.

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

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.
