AMERICAN STATE TRIALSIf the Constitution of the United States had not given the judiciary the right to decide on the constitutionality of Federal laws—yet if such power could be exercised, it could not be by a juror. This is because it is a maxim of law in all the states that the courts have the exclusive right to decide every question regarding the admissibility of evidence in every case, civil or criminal, whether the evidence is by act of assembly, by deed, or other writing, or by witnesses.Judge Chase concluded by observing

Here is the translated text as follows:In the case of the United States, the statute was challenged but ultimately deemed constitutional by the courts, and their decision was accepted.I came across a report of a case, Kamper v. Hawkins, decided in 1793 in the general court of this commonwealth. The case concerned the constitutionality of a law that granted district courts the power to issue injunctions in certain situations. The judges of the general court, by a four-to-one decision, determined that the law was unconstitutional and void.Yesterday, I reviewed the record of another case from the Court of Appeals of

Here is the translated text as follows:The courts of the United States will be uniform, or they will become so through the revision and correction of the Supreme Court. This ensures that the same principles will pervade the entire Union. However, the opinions of petit juries will likely differ across various states.The decisions of courts of justice will not be influenced by political and local principles and prejudices. If inferior courts commit errors, these can be rectified. However, if juries make mistakes, there is no revision or control over their verdicts, and therefore, no mode to obtain uniformity in their

Here is the translated text as follows:The effects of the exercise of this power by petit jurors may be readily conceived. It appears to me that the right now claimed has a direct tendency to dissolve the Union of the United States, on which, under Divine Providence, our political safety, happiness, and prosperity depend.No citizen of knowledge and information, unless under the influence of passion or prejudice, will believe, without very strong and indubitable proof, that Congress will intentionally make any law in violation of the Federal Constitution and their sacred trust. I admit that the Constitution contemplates that Congress

Here is the translated text as follows:Among other things, it is declared that the Constitution shall be the supreme law of the land. By the third article, it is established that "the judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as Congress may from time to time ordain and establish; and that the judicial power shall extend to all cases in law and equity, arising under the Constitution and laws of the United States."Among the cases which may arise under the Constitution are all the restrictions on the authority of

Here is the translated text as follows:If this exposition of this solemn obligation is substantially correct, I cannot believe that any person with the same understanding of it will maintain that a petit jury can rightfully exercise the power granted by the Constitution to the Federal judiciary.From these considerations, I draw the conclusion that the judicial power of the United States is the only proper and competent authority to decide whether any statute made by Congress (or any of the state legislatures) is contrary to, or in violation of, the Federal Constitution.This was the opinion of the Senate and House

Here is the translated text as follows:In the case before them, the jury's role is to determine the facts and not to decide whether a statute of the United States is a law or whether it is void based on the opinion that it is unconstitutional, meaning contrary to the Constitution of the United States. I acknowledge that the jury must compare the statute with the facts presented and then decide whether the actions taken are prohibited by the law and whether they constitute the offense described in the indictment. This power is necessarily possessed by the jury to enable

Here is the translated text as follows:If anyone can be so weak in intellect as to entertain this opinion of Congress, they must give up the exercise of the power when informed that Congress had no authority to vest it in any body whatsoever. This is because, as I will hereafter show, the Constitution expressly grants this right to the judicial power of the United States, and it is recognized by Congress through a perpetual statute.

Here is the translated text as follows:As challenging as the task may be, I shall offer a few observations to show that they have this right. I intend to defend Mr. Callender by establishing two points.First, a law contrary to the Constitution is void. Second, the jury has the right to consider both the law and the facts. It seems to be universally acknowledged that when the legislature exercises a power not granted by the Constitution, the judiciary will disregard their acts. The second point, that the jury has the right to decide the law and the facts, appears equally

Here is the translated text as follows:In the case of American State Trials, the question arises whether juries have the right to determine both the law and the facts. In Virginia, an act of the assembly has adopted the common law of England; therefore, this common law possesses all the authority of a legislative act within the state. According to an act of Congress, the rules of proceedings in the Federal courts in various states are directed to conform to the rules of the states in which such courts may be in session.

However, if evidence could be adduced to prove the entire charge, then such evidence would be admissible. One specific charge is twofold: that the President is an aristocrat and that he proved serviceable to British interests.We believe the evidence will support this charge. We wish to prove the truth of the entire charge if we can, though I am not certain it is within our power.
