"The Minneapolis Star and Tribune in a news paper article appearing in its November 30th 1984 edition, entitled: 'What judges don't tell the juries' stated:

'At the time of the adoption of the Constitution,[1] the jury's role as defense against political oppression was unquestioned in American jurisprudence. This nation survived until the 1850's when prosecutions under the Fugitive Slave Act were largely unsuccessful because juries refused to convict.'

And -

"... 'By the bill of rights of England, a subject has a right to a trial by his peers. What is meant by his peers? Those who reside near him, his neighbors, and who are well aquainted with his character and situation in life.' Patrick Henry, (Elliot, The Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution, 3:579).

Patrick Henry also knew that originally the JURY of PEERS was designed as a protection for Neighbors from outside governmental oppression. Henry states the following, 'Why do we love this trial by jury? Because it prevents the hand of oppression from cutting you off...This gives me comfort - that, as long as I have existence, my neighbors will protect me.' (Elliot, 3:545, 546)":

The Citizens Rule Book
JURY HANDBOOK[2]

This "Rule Book" includes the Declaration of Independence (the first Organic Law) and the Constitution of September 17, 1787 (the fourth Organic Law). It should be supplemented with at least the second Organic Law: The Articles of Confederation.
