This episode unpacks how justice itself was compromised under British rule. Grievances 8, 9, and 18 expose a system where courts were obstructed, judges were controlled by the King, and trial by jury was denied. We discuss why an independent judiciary is essential to democracy and how the colonists’ experience helped shape the American commitment to fair, impartial courts.
Special Guest Panelists: Fabulous college students from Arizona including League members GraceMarie Theesfeld and Emra Muslim, along with Mikah Dyer.
