An Essay On The Trial By Jury, Lysander Spooner [ebook reader browser .txt] 📗

For More Than Six Hundred years That Is, Since Magna Carta, In
1215 There Has Been No Clearer Principle Of English Or American
Constitutional Law, Than That, In criminal Cases, It Is Not Only The
Right And Duty Of Juries To Judge What Are The Facts, What Is The Law,
And What Was The Moral Intent Of The Accused; But That It Is Also
Their Right, And Their Primary And Paramount Duty, To Judge Of The
Justice Of The Law, And To Hold All Laws Invalid, That Are, In their
Opinion, Unjust Or Oppressive, And All Persons Guiltless In violating,
Or Resisting the Execution Of, Such Laws.
