If Xortli Carolina denied this population the right to testify, then North Carolina and Indiana would stand alone in that regard. The right to testify was not a political right. It had been styled a natural right. He was not prepared to ty whether it was right-er not, but it seemed to him to lfavc manv of the es sential elements of a natural right.
