Double Jeopardy Laws

Famous quotes containing the words double and/or laws:

    No slavery can be abolished without a double emancipation, and the master will benefit by freedom more than the freed-man.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

    It is dangerous to tell the people that the laws are unjust; for they obey them only because they think them just. Therefore it is necessary to tell them at the same time that they must obey them because they are laws, just as they must obey superiors, not because they are just, but because they are superiors. In this way all sedition is prevented.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)
