! i Through the ages the been worked out by Father ilizations had their own courts. Some were good, while others were not. During the Dark Ages even the very efficient courts of the Roman Empire were abolished. All forms of justice, together with security and freedom, disappeared from the face of the earth. Gradually, during the Renaissance, some of the more considerate of the feudal lords began to think of the welfare of their dependents. Later, in England the Court of Peers was formed, advancing the scope of justice decidedly. At the time of the founding of our own country our fore-fathers, in framing the Constitution, provided for trial by jury for all persons suspected of committing some crime. They organized our courts along the lines of the Roman courts of Caesar's time--having both judge and jury. In the populated districts of our country this worked very well, but, as our boundries expanded, law was often left behind. Vigilante groups were formed, and other crude means of justice were used. However, these did not last long. Soon law and order were established in all parts of our country; trial by jury became the only form of judging whether a person were innocent or guilty. It is with pride that Americans point to the records of their courts, their fine, upright, and just courts of today.
