Explain how, according to Jefferson, King George obstructed justice and made judges dependent on his will for tenure and salaries.
According to Jefferson, King George refused to pass laws establishing judiciary powers. The few judges that existed were beholden to King George because he paid and determined their salaries and job security. Therefore they were not as objective and fair, as judges should be. This allowed the King of Britain to manipulate the judges and undermine the colonists and their rights.
