Alexis De Tocqueville Quotes

When The Jury Is Reserved For Criminal Affairs, The People See It Act Only From Time To Time And In Particular Cases; They Get Used To Doing Without The Jury In The Ordinary Course Of Life, And They Consider It As A Means And Not As The Only Means For Obtaining Justice.
When, On The Contrary, The Jury Is Extended To Civil Affairs, Its Application Comes Into View At Every Moment; Then It Touches All Interests; Each Person Comes To Contribute To Its Action; In This Way It Enters Into The Customs Of Life; It Bends The Human Spirit To Its Forms And Merges So To Speak With The Very Idea Of Justice.
