The Whispers of a Juries and Liberty Debate
The text portrays a political pamphlet style argument against ministerial control and for jury liberty. It cites threats of war, taxation by parliament, and the defense of press freedom. It critiques the framers of policy and defends juries as both fact finders and interpreters of law within trials, with beguiling rhetoric about English liberties and opposition to ministerial manipulation.
