Among the worst of the crimes committed against the America, as it was founded, is the refusal to allow the people to exercise power that is ours......
......and hand it to the government.
Here's why they do it:
1. "... there’s a tendency among bureaucrats, politicians, academics, and other members of the New Class to convince the people to hand over the major decisions of their lives to the “experts.”These experts aren’t all in the government, but they all collude with government to convince people that the experts have all the answers and that the people need to hand the reins over to them. They will tell us what to eat, what to drive,what to think.
It’s an approach that puts politics before economics. Because it is an attempt to politicize peoples’ lives.”

2. The same truth applies to the 'experts' called politicians, and jurists, and lawyers.
For the reason stated in the first paragraph, courts instruct juries that they must follow the dictates of a law, as specified by the court.
Such as this:
"The judge will point out that his or her instructions contain the interpretation of the relevant laws that govern the case, and that jurors are required to adhere to these laws in making their decision, regardless of what the jurors believe the law is or ought to be. In short, the jurors determine the facts and reach a verdict, within the guidelines of the law as determined by the judge. "How Courts Work | Public Education
This is typical of the sort of indoctrination by Progressives and Liberals, and contains the sorts of lie that infects our education system: the last thing Progressives and Liberals can allow is persons to think for themselves.
3. But there is a ray of hope. In New Hampshire, a bill was passed reminding jurors of their unalienable right.
"...a billthat would require courts to instruct jurors about jury nullification — the jurors’ power to refuse to convict even when they think all the elements of the crime have been proved beyond a reasonable doubt ...:
'In all criminal proceedings the court shall inform the jury of its right to judge the facts and the application of the law in relation to the facts in controversy.
At the request of the defendant or the defendant’s attorney, the court shall instruct the jury as follows:
If you have a reasonable doubt as to whether the state has proved any one or more of the elements of the crime charged, you must find the defendant not guilty.
However if you find that the state has proved all the elements of the offense charged beyond a reasonable doubt, you should find the
defendant guilty.
Even if you find that the state has proved all of the elements of the offense charged beyond a reasonable doubt, you may still find that based upon the facts of this case a guilty verdict will yield an unjust result, and you may find the defendant not guilty.'
