Lysander Spooner: “Two men have no more natural right to rule one, than one has to rule two.”

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

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

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

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.
