The unintended effect of the Writs of Assistance was that it angered colonists who felt they were being searched without a warrant.


The Writs of assistance were a general search warrant that it was issued by the superior provincial court to assist the British government in enforcing trade and navigation laws. <em>It allowed officers to search any house for smuggled goods without any specification of which house or goods where being inspected.</em>

After those effects surfaced, lawyer James Otis issued before the Superior Court of Massachusetts that those warrants were illegal and that: “appears to me the worst instrument of arbitrary power, the most destructive of English liberty and the fundamental principles of law, that ever was found in an English lawbook.”

Which of the following is an individual right protected by the Bill of Rights?
Radda [10]

Answer:

Jury trial

Explanation:

The Seventh Amendment to the US Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights, affirming the right to a jury in some civil cases. The US Supreme Court believes that this amendment does not make mandatory jury trials in individual states - this right applies only to the federal level of justice. However, in Justices v. Murray, the Supreme Court ruled that the provision on the impossibility of reviewing the facts established by a jury concerns all courts.
