LIBRARY OF CONGRESS hand if the government covertly silences a dissenter in private the legal system exposes itself to charges of persecution which compromises the public s respect for the law. By prosecuting dissenters in open court before an impartial judge and an unbiased jury the . legal system attempts to strike a balance between the competing interests of the government and dissenters. Historically many regimes have been unable to achieve this delicate balance. In ancient Greece 500 Athenian jurors made a martyr out of Socrates when they sentenced him to death for corrupting the youth and criticizing government officials. The Roman governor Pontius Pilate sparked concerted religious opposition to his government by condemning Jesus of Nazareth for blasphemously claiming to be the Son of God and King of the Jews. In 1735 British authorities planted the seeds of rebellion in the American colonies when they unsuccessfully prosecuted journalist John Peter Zenger for seditious libel. A third common type of political trial involves nationalists who challenge a government s authority to represent them. Nationalists speak for an identifiable group of people who share a common characteristic such as race religion or ethnicity. Trials of nationalists call into question both the unity of society and the capacity of a regime to speak for the people. Governments prosecute nationalists in part to publicly affirm their ability and resolve to govern the populace. Faced with certain defeat in the short run many nationalists still present a vigorous defense to raise political awareness and record their battle for posterity. The 1922 trial of mohandas k. gandhi for example served as a lightening rod of nationalism in india by uniting opposition against the oppressive imperial government of Great Britain.
