Lysander Spooner: “And, as a result, every species of absurd, corrupt, and robber legislation goes on unrestrained, as it always has done.”

What else than ignorance of the law is it that excuses persons under the years of discretion, and men of imbecile minds?

Why should they not have such an administration of justice as they desire, and can understand?

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.

In this manner all unjust laws are established, and made operative against the rights of the people.
