““ The true theory, we think, is that the people, in their political or sovereign capacity, assume to provide by law the proper tribunals and modes of trial for offenses, without consulting the wishes of the defendant as such; and upon them, therefore, devolves the responsibility, not only of enacting such laws, but of carrying them into effect, by furnishing the tribunals, the panels of jurors, and other safeguards for his trial, in accordance with the Constitution, which secures his rights.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. People v. Duffek““It will thus be seen the qualifications are to-day the same substantially as at common law. By the statute of 6 Geo. IY. chap. 50, Parliament attached certain property qualifications, and in this State the Legislature has added ■certain qualifications to protect the rights of parties, and provide an intelligent and impartial jury.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage““ It is one of the most essential features of the right of trial by jury at common law that no jury should be compelled to find any but a general verdict in criminal cases, and the removal of this safeguard would violate its design and destroy its spirit.””
