Extractions: Advertisement by Lysander Spooner Vices are those acts by which a man harms himself or his property. Crimes are those acts by which one man harms the person or property of another. Vices are simply the errors which a man makes in his search after his own happiness. Unlike crimes, they imply no malice toward others, and no interference with their persons or property. In vices, the very essence of crime that is, the design to injure the person or property of another is wanting. It is a maxim of the law that there can be no crime without a criminal intent; that is, without the intent to invade the person or property of another. But no one ever practises a vice with any such criminal intent. He practices his vice for his own happiness solely, and not from any malice toward others. Unless this clear distinction between vices and crimes be made and recognized by the laws, there can be on earth no such thing as individual right, liberty, or property, and the corresponding and coequal rights of another man to the control of his own person and property.

http://lawcasella.com/spooner/LetterToGroverCleveland.htm

Extractions: To Grover Cleveland: SIR, - Your inaugural address is probably as honest, sensible, and consistent a one as that of any president within the last fifty years, or, perhaps, as any since the foundation of the government. If, therefore, it is false, absurd, self-contradictory, and ridiculous, it is not (as I think) because you are personally less honest, sensible, or consistent than your predecessors, but because the government itself - according to your own description of it, and according to the practical administration of it for nearly a hundred years - is an utterly and palpably false, absurd, and criminal one. Such praises as you bestow upon it are, therefore, necessarily false, absurd, and ridiculous.

Extractions: Chapter 1, The Right of Juries to Judge of the Justice of Laws S. 1. For more than six hundred yearsthat is, since Magna Carta, in 1215there has been no clearer principle of English or American constitutional law, than that, in criminal cases, it is not only the right and duty of juries to judge what are the facts, what is the law, and what was the moral intent of the accused; but that it is also their right, and their primary and paramount duty, to judge of the justice of the law, and to hold all laws invalid, that are, in their opinion, unjust or oppressive, and all persons guiltless in violating, or resisting the execution of, such laws. Unless such be the right of jurors, it is plain that, instead of juries being a "palladium of liberty"a barrier against the tyranny and opression of the governmentthey are really mere tools in its hands, for carrying into execution any injustice and oppression it may desire to have executed.

http://www.hinet.hr/kosta-krauth/anarchists/spooner_lysander.html

Extractions: Biography Spooner was a Massachusetts lawyer and libertarian who turned his knowledge and vigour to combating the encroachment of the state on the liberty of the individual. Before the Civil War he wrote on the unconstitutionality of slavery; afterwards he wrote on the unconstitutionality of the constitution. His opposition to the state often took very practical forms; for example, when he was opposing the postal monopoly, he set up a private postal system which succeeded so well that, even if he did not succeed in ending the postal monopoly, he at least forced a considerable reduction in postal rates. His conceptions of democracy were so direct and participatory as to be virtually indistinguishable from anarchism. Reading We, the people of the United States [that is, the people then existing in the United States], in order to form a more perfect union, insure domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our prosperity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. This agreement, as an agreement, would clearly bind nobody but the people then existing. Secondly, it would assert no right, power, or disposition, on their part, to compel their 'posterity' to maintain such a fort. It would only indicate that the supposed welfare of their posterity was one of the motives that induced the original parties to enter into an agreement.
Vices Are Not Crimes, By Lysander Spooner

http://alanchapman.org/libertyvault/files/vicesarenotcrimes.html

Extractions: by Lysander Spooner, 1875 Vices are those acts by which a man harms himself or his property. Crimes are those acts by which one man harms the person or property of another. Vices are simply the errors which a man makes in his search after his own happiness. Unlike crimes, they imply no malice toward others, and no interference with their persons or property. In vices, the very essence of crime - that is, the design to injure the person or property of another - is wanting. It is a maxim of the law that there can be no crime without a criminal intent; that is, without the intent to invade the person or property of another. But no one ever practises a vice with any such criminal intent. He practices his vice for his own happiness solely, and not from any malice toward others. Unless this clear distinction between vices and crimes be made and recognized by the laws, there can be on earth no such thing as individual right, liberty, or property, and the corresponding and coequal rights of another man to the control of his own person and property. For a government to declare a vice to be a crime, and to punish it as such, is an attempt to falsify the very nature of things. It is as absurd as it would be to declare truth to be falsehood, or falsehood truth.

Extractions: Anarchistyczny Magazyn Autorów "Maæ Pariadka" nr 10/95 Lysander Spooner (1808-1887) zaliczany jest do klasyków amerykañskiego anarchizmu. Prawnik, publicysta, cz³onek I Miêdzynarodówki, znany by³ ze swojego bezkompromisowego stosunku do instytucji pañstwa i amerykañskiego systemu konstytucyjno-prawnego. Bêd±c przeciwnikiem niewolnictwa (pochodzi³ z pó³nocy Stanów - z Massachusets), próbowa³ pocz±tkowo argumentowaæ przeciw niemu stoj±c na gruncie konstytucji USA, wkrótce jednak doszed³ do zakwestionowania prawomocno¶ci samej tej konstytucji. Swe przemy¶lenia na ten temat zawar³ w swoim najs³ynniejszym eseju, The Constitution of no Authority (Konstytucja bez autorytetu), którego fragmenty poni¿ej publikujemy; w eseju tym potêpia on tak¿e agresjê rz±du amerykañskiego przeciw stanom Po³udnia, wykazuj±c, ¿e has³a antyniewolnicze by³y jedynie pretekstem do zdobycia przez klasê rz±dz±c± politycznej kontroli nie tylko nad rynkami Po³udnia, ale i pieni±dzem, przemys³em i handlem ca³ych Stanów. Spooner próbowa³ walczyæ te¿ z pañstwowym monopolem pocztowym, zak³adaj±c prywatne przedsiêbiorstwo pocztowe, American Letter Mail Company, oferuj±ce us³ugi po cenach ni¿szych ni¿ rz±d. Choæ ustaw± Kongresu z 1845 r. przedsiêbiorstwo to zosta³o zdelegalizowane, amerykañska poczta pañstwowa przyjê³a ni¿sze ceny Spoonera. Lysander Spooner KONSTYTUCJA BEZ AUTORYTETU (fragmenty) I.

Extractions: To Home page by Lysander Spooner The Constitution has no inherent authority or obligation. It has no authority or obligation at all, unless as a contract between man and man. And it does not so much as even purport to be a contract between persons now existing. It purports, at most, to be only a contract between persons living eighty years ago. [This essay was written in 1869.] And it can be supposed to have been a contract then only between persons who had already come to years of discretion, so as to be competent to make reasonable and obligatory contracts. Furthermore, we know, historically, that only a small portion even of the people then existing were consulted on the subject, or asked, or permitted to express either their consent or dissent in any formal manner. Those persons, if any, who did give their consent formally, are all dead now. Most of them have been dead forty, fifty, sixty, or seventy years. and the constitution, so far as it was their contract, died with them. They had no natural power or right to make it obligatory upon their children. It is not only plainly impossible, in the nature of things, that they
