The first of these two trials is The Salem Witch Trials, which was a time when many women, and a few men, were convicted for being witches, and in some cases, warlocks. This time period is important because it is one of the reasons that spectral evidence is no longer allowed in the court today. There are many theories on whether or not Satan was behind all or even one of these trials. My own biased opinion is that he was behind the first few. He then allowed the trials and eventual killings to get out of hand, which is also quite clearly his work. The next trial is The Zenger Trial, which is when John Peter Zenger accused the Governor of something embarrassing. His convictions were true, yet Zenger himself was also accused of seditious libel, however the jury ignored this law and pleaded him not guilty, because the accusations he made were true. This is also important because it portrays how the jury has the right to be biased and simply ignore the law.

I believe that one reason is the timing that Britain got stricter with their laws. We had just gotten over The French and Indian War, so we were not exactly at ease. Another reason is that America was growing, and it was natural for them to get more independent and want to in some way “break free” of the "mother country."
