Founding Fathers were addressing the issue of colonists being transported to England for various trials. Trials that had been held in the colonies often found colonial citizens not guilty and British soldiers guilty. By transporting colonists to Britain for trial they could possibly get the better outcome that they wanted (guilty verdict). The courts is England were often more sympathetic to the Crown and government, just as the courts in the colonies were sympathetic to colonists and colonial causes.

They attempted to fix this by adding the various due process amendments, namely the right to a speedy trial (6).

Answer:

After more than a century of the kingdom of Israel under Saul, David, and Solomon, the kingdom was divided between Rehoboam in the south, and Jeroboam in the north.

Explanation:

During the Old Testament times, the kingdom of Israel was ruled by numerous kings that the Lord appointed. But often at times being passed from one to another among the same family, the kings also were removed by the Lord if they disobeyed or behaved against his will.

In those periods, the people of Israel were under the guidance of the priests who passed on the directives from God. But with the death of the prophet Eli and the aging Samuel, Israel demanded to be given a king to rule and lead them in wars. So, God directed prophet Samuel to anoint Saul as king of Israel (1 Samuel 10). After him came David, son of Jesse (1 Samuel 16), succeeded by his son Solomon (1 Kings 1:28- 36). After Solomon drifted away from God, the kingdom of Israel was divided into two, the south ruled by Rehoboam(1 Kings 14:21) and the North ruled by Jeroboam (1 Kings 11: 26- 40).
