The following are words taken from the following web-page, which is a link to the Essay on The Trial by Jury. I am finding differences (or difficulties) in the formats on various sources.

SECTION II
The Ancient Common Law Juries were mere Courts of Conscience

________________________________
"This establishment was formed both in Germany and England, by the inhabitants of a certain division, who extended their jurisdiction over the territory they occupied. [21] They bound themselves under a penalty to assemble at stated times; and having elected the wisest to preside over them, they judged, not only all civil and criminal matters, but of those also which regarded religion and the priesthood. The judicial power thus invested in the people was extensive; they were able to preserve their rights, and attended this court in arms.

"The hundred, however, and county courts, were not equal of themselves for the purposes of jurisdiction and order. It was necessary that a court should be erected, of supreme authority, where the disputes of the great should be decided, where the disagreeing sentiments of judges should be reconciled, and where protection should be given to the people against their fraud and injustice.

I've been searching for more references having to do with what I call Gate Keeping, as to who validated accusations so as open the gate and allow due process to proceed according to the common law principles. If the gate is kept closed by criminals operating a counterfeit government power, then they will never allow themselves to be held to an accurate accounting of their crimes: no more than a criminal who is profiting handsomely according to a well organized criminal enterprise is going to suddenly grow a conscience and start paying back all the money (power) stolen up to that point.

The above quote is interesting as the people, employing themselves as jurists (judges of fact, law, guilt, innocence, and sentence, judgment, punishment, banishment, or whatever) attended their courts of conscience armed. That makes sense, contrary to today's procedure whereby the counterfeit government officials suspect everyone as potential terrorist, and subject everyone (excluding themselves of course) to RAPE - E - SCAN, body cavity searches, before anyone is allowed to attend the Kangaroo Courts of Summary Just US.
