- W2497337684 abstract "On two occasions in the late 1630s, the magistrates of the Lower Norfolk county court in Virginia imposed extraordinary punishments on white men accused of minor criminal offenses, ordering the sheriff to lay 100 lashes on the bare back. This was arbitrary justice, the summary infliction of severe corporal punishment by a few appointed justices of the peace. Eight decades later, in 1712, the Connecticut Superior Court discovered in the midst of a trial that the laws of colony made no distinction between murder and manslaughter. The court immediately asked for the permission of the Assembly to determine “by the rules of the common law” the seriousness of the crime and the consequent sentence. Legal precedent, the rules of the common law, would decide the defendant’s fate. Yet another eight decades later, in 1793, Vermont Chief Justice Nathaniel Chipman declared, “No Court, in this State, ought ever to pronounce the sentence of death upon the authority of a common law precedent, without the authority of a statute.” The legitimacy of a major criminal punishment now depended on the sanction of a popularly elected legislature." @default.
