Resources #Rule of Law

If we know that the Trial by Jury is the bulwark, the cornerstone, the foundation of our criminal justice system, a 'little parliament', 'the lamp which shows that freedom lives', a protection against unjust legislation — how can it be lawful for the state to legislate to remove or restrict it?

There is a general recognition amongst the people and the judiciary, that this prerogative is a protection for and by the people against unconstitutional, unjust or oppressive legislation - so why can we not see that it is absurd, illogical or possibly even a dastardly sleight of hand to suggest that this protection be legislated away - that the government can legislate away the people’s protection against immoral or unjust legislation!

You have, throughout your reign, disregarded our laws and customs in the legislation that has gone through Parliament

You must be asking how it is that we do consent, or not, to the rules given to us by parliament... because we surely must consent, else we would just be following orders - which is obviously immoral and was specifically outlawed at Nuremberg.

The English Law tradition contains those principles that you can’t argue with. You have no choice about adhering to those principles or prerequisites if you want harmony to result in your community. Not including those principles would ALWAYS result in chaos - even if the unraveling would take time.
