It may in its consequence affect every free man that lives under a British government on the main of America. It is the best cause. It is the cause of liberty … an impartial and uncorrupt verdict will have laid a noble foundation for securing to ourselves, our posterity, and our neighbors, that to which nature and the laws of our country have given us a right to liberty of both exposing and opposing arbitrary power (in these parts of the world at least) by speaking and writing truth. ”
