H2. Shortly before the American Revolutionary War, Britain began taxing the colonies on many common supplies. They established a tea tax, a stamp tax, a document tax, and many more. As the colonists rebelled against the taxes, Britain continued to raise the taxes as well as close major ports. '''Did Britain have the right to tax the colonists?''' Yes and No, Britain had the right to establish a general tax, however, they did not have the right to establish such severe taxes on the Colonies...especially without the colonies having a say in it.

Yes, I do think a jury should be able to ignore the law in order to find a defendant not guilty. If the judge is fully convinced that the defendant is not guilty and there is evidence supporting this conclusion, then ''he should have the right to declare them not guilty.'' However, when the jury is declaring the defendant not guilty out of bias or such things, then he should not have that right.
