Abstract
The article discusses the political power of informed juries via political decision making in the U.S. It examines the exercise of political power by juries in U.S. jurisprudence, the history of courts delegating politically significant issues of law to juries, such as the colonial Massachusetts case of defendant John Peter Zenger, and the knowledge required of juries to make political decisions as demonstrated by the cases Erving v. Cradock and, particularly, the Arizona case of State v. May.
