Slavery was 200 years old in the Colonies before the creation of the USA in 1787 so I really can’t say what I would have done then. Slavery, both political and economic, is alive and well in the USA today and I am doing my best to get such laws repealed. The only “constitutional” power of force the People have to use to get legislation repealed is to vote to not reelect Legislators and Congressmen that are not working to repeal such unconstitutional legislation.

Do you support political and economic slavery by reelecting known criminals to make law?

Does that mean that in the 19th century, you would’ve returned escaped slaves, because it’s the law?

I would assume that you have some point where you won’t go along with the injustice. Don’t we all?

And on a side note, jury nullification is something we just don’t hear enough of these days. Fully Informed Jury Association!

In my opinion all laws directed at citizens, particularly laws infringing on a Right, are unconstitutional and all such laws are unjust.

I do not see a benefit in being a martyr so feel the best efforts in combating unconstitutional and unjustly applied laws is when serving as a Juror nullify them and not reelecting Lawmakers that enact such legislation.

Then consider every business, manufacturer, shop owner, and even in some circumstances every individual is a government agent by some “government legislation” obligated to collect taxes for government.

As long as such criminal (unconstitutional) legislation is on the books government police and courts will enforce it. The citizenry has no constitutional means to directly repeal unconstitutional laws but do have direct means to not rehire Lawmakers enacting and not repealing those criminal laws; reference Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution.
