[Arthur McGowan]

“A jury of his peers” is not in the Constitution or anywhere in American law. Because there is no nobility or royalty in America, all Americans are peers of all other Americans.

[Does so]

Try to find "a jury of my peers" in Miami, FL.

Should I be charged with a felony, I know that as an American I am presumed innocent.

Until about 20 years ago, this statement was mostly true.

I like that the author recommends a heavy onus on the state to prove a public benefit before any law restricting or abridging a citizen’s liberty can be instantiated. That is itself a bulwark against the collectivist ideology that inevitably leads to socialism.

When the rights of the individual supersede the rights of the collective, there is liberty. Where the collective rules the individual, you will find tyranny.

Very good point.
