Question by : isn’t the currant jury system just a primitive system we could easily change?
the jury system was invented in medieval england. in a time the authorities represented the king.
so obviously it was the best way to make sure the law system was not just another way for the king to enforce his power. when the founding father created the news judicial system they where very afraid the republic will end up the republic their ancestors created in England after the english civil war. so they took great measures restrict the govorments power, so they wouldn’t have another Cromwell. America has 200 years of free democratic history since then. and today most people don’t view the government as an external ruling force. but as a the people representation.
there for it seems awfully primitive to have uneducated folks as juries deciding in complicated manners that are nothing like what juries had to confront 200 years ago. isn’t time to have professional juries who would be educated in law, rather then stupid hillbillies that can vote a person guilty of murder because they didn’t like the way he dresses.

a professional jury wouldn’t care about politics… a civil jury might
