justice william johnson wrote the opinion and as it happened, he was a native of charleston.e took a different attitude towards the magna carta than his fellow south carolinian thomas waity. in his opinion to the court, justice johnson wasted no time in full use and praise of the charter. his tone suggested impatience with what he called, the volume spoken and written with a huge juxtaposition. justice johnson declared that the good sense of man kind had arrived at the idea that they were intend to secure the individual from the arbitrary exercise of the powers of government, unrestrained by the established principles of private rights and distributive justice. after this announcement, justice johnson explained to make his note negotiable at the bank and, therefore, he had waived the right to jury trial. by the mid-19th century in both england and america, the powers of the civil jury were increasingly curtailed. the jury went from being described as a secret palladium, as blackstone had called it, to a figure of fun. the magazine "punch" got in on the act, seldom missing the

these were men like kentucky's governor william bramlet and maryland's senator johnson. they were pro-war, they wanted to see the union prevail. they had grudgingly come to support emancipation as a war aim but did not favor the enlistment of black troops. they loathed lincoln but they also rejected the cease-fire language in the war failure language, the argue that the war had been a failure in the democratic platform. war democrats. these conservative southern unionists often took direct aim at andy johnson. for example the pro-mcclellan "louisville daily democrat" called johnson the most scrupulous, malignant and contemptible of all lincoln's underlings. for southern unionists no less for confederates, the specter of electoral fraud and intimidation loomed large. in tennessee, mcclellan democrats protested andrew johnson's requirement that all voters take a test oath in which they reject an armistice with the confederacy. such an oath, the democrats complained, effectively required that voters repudiate the democratic platform and thus rigged the election in lincoln's
