The No Treason Podcast Ep. 14: Magna Carta, Trial by Jury, and the Right to Resist Tyranny

In Episode 14 of The No Treason Podcast, Jonathan Drake continues his deep examination of trial by jury through the lens of Lysander Spooner’s writings, moving into the historical foundations of Magna Carta.

The episode traces the political and legal conditions surrounding King John, the Norman system of centralized power, and the barons’ revolt that led to Magna Carta, focusing especially on Clause 39 and its role in limiting tyranny. Jonathan walks through Spooner’s argument that trial by jury was intended to give jurors authority to judge not only facts, but the justice of the law itself, placing real power in the hands of the people. The discussion contrasts Anglo-Saxon legal traditions with Norman rule, addresses later historical revisionism, and sets the stage for a closer analysis of Magna Carta’s language in the next episode.
