With just a little more effort, you could put together your own research paper by quoting impressive sources for material on the internet.

(1) For your introduction, describe three options for government [look up Machiavelli's The Prince] either monarchy, aristocracy, or democracy, (rule by the one, the few or the many), which in their corrupted forms lead to tyranny, oligarchy or anarchy:

[Sample Quotation off the Internet: "The principle that Machiavelli introduces is simply that of a classification by the distribution to power, i.e. power is exercised by one, by a few, or by the many. This is a useful device, and is used here in the theory of Liberties in Three Dimensions. Thus, power exercised by one is a Monarchy, by a few, an Aristocarcy, and by the many, a Democracy. However, Machiavelli allows that there are good and bad versions of each of these, reserves these terms for the good forms, and introduces "Tyranny," "Oligarchy," and "Anarchy" for the bad versions of rule by one, the few, and the many, respectively. These terms are conveniently schematic and descriptive and ignore a utopian possibility like Plato's government of philosophers."]

Explain that when the responsibility for justice is given to individuals to act as government, there must be means set up to check and balance the power or else the result is tyranny or anarchy. Thus, an intermediate form of government has been introduced, usually an elected parliament of representatives, to maintain balance between individuals and governing authority.

For your thesis sentence, explain that without such an intermediate system of government, vigilante justice by itself runs the risk of turning democracy into anarchy, or individuals into tyrants, so that a well-run legal system of checks and balances is need to prevent such abuses.

(2) For your body, three paragraphs (following the three forms of government)
(a) Justice dictated by monarchy (which when corrupted becomes theocracy if it is religious authority or dictatorship if it is political authority or both). You can argue that a system of giving judicial authority to one person in government violates Constitutional principles of freedom of religion or "separation of church and state." So you can quote the First Amendment as a simple source at http://www.constitution.org
You can argue that monarchy led to the corruption from which America's founders fought for independence, and quote Jefferson's Declaration of Independence as another source.
Then state that the legal system is structured to solve this problem by providing appeals, judicial review, etc. to check the power of courts, so no individual judges can act as vigilantes.

(b) Justice decided by individuals (which when corrupted becomes anarchy). If people acted on their own as individuals, mistakes could be made with no accountability. But if individuals operate through a legal system, there is public and governmental responsibility to make sure the decisions are made with respect to due process. Again you can cite the Constitution, using Amendments 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.

(c) Justice orchestrated by a group of few members or aristocracy (which when corrupted becomes oligarchy).
When judicial powers are vested in a group of select individuals, this system can still be corrupted. And indeed, our current legal system is plagued with complaints about judges who are appointed for political reasons and not directly elected by the people, or lawyers who put private profit before public interest,
Since money and political power are not equal among the people, any legal system struggles to ensure equal justice and protection despite any economic disparity among the parties.
So the same problems with an aristocracy being abused as an oligarchy occur with the legal system as well.

However, a well-run legal system seeks to provide equal standards and means for all citizens to petition civilly for justice, to appeal decisions, and to mediate to resolve any conflicts of interest that otherwise impede due process. Thus, an intermediate legal system is, once again, necessary to reduce the risk of corruption in deciding issues of justice.

(3) Conclusion:
You can close by talking about ways the current problems in the legal system could be resolved (such as reducing the bureaucracy that slows the wheels of justice; eliminating the undue burden on crime victims while defending the rights of the accused; and by making legal resources more accessible to the public to seek direct mediation, restitution, and restorative justice) in order to reduce the need for vigilante justice from frustration with the system. [Look up "Restorative Justice" For examples, quotes or materials to throw in an appendix, look up Alternatives to Violence Project, Murder Victims Families for Reconciliation, etc.]

Instead of a corrupted legal system that appears to be run by a monarchy of judges, or an aristocracy of lawyers and bar associations, maybe more people would trust the legal system if it were made more effective and equally accessible to all as in a true democracy.

Can you take this basic outline and use it?
