The last one because it makes sense
Answer:
<em></em>
<em>Article III of the Constitution </em>establishes a very high bar for convicting an American for treason. However, like other aspects of the Constitution, the exact meaning of this provision is being discussed by constitutional scholars. This reads the following:
Treason against the United States shall consist solely of waging war against them, or of adhering to their enemies, providing them with assistance and comfort.<em> No person shall be convicted of Treason except on the testimony of two witnesses to the same overt act, or on the open court confession.
</em>
Explanation:
The explanation the prosecutions for treason are very rare is that the <em>conviction requires two witnesses to the act of treason. </em>In summary, by default, the definition of treason is quite narrow. This means that conviction for treason in American history is very difficult and therefore very rare.
Answer:
Preliminary hearing.
Explanation:
A preliminary hearing in criminal litigation is commonly referred to as a prelim and is the legal process of a "trial before the trial" of an accused or the defendant.
This simply means that, at the preliminary hearing, the judge using the "probable cause" legal standard, decides whether there is enough evidence to warrant the defendant to stand trial but not to determine whether he or she is guilty or innocent of the crime. Thus, no jury is present or required at this phase of trial because the defendant isn't entitled to any at the preliminary hearing.
Additionally, during the preliminary hearing phase of a trial, evidence is given in the attempt to convince the judge that there is enough evidence to go to trial. A prosecutor on behalf of the government may call witnesses to testify against the defendant and even present physical evidence to the judge, so that the case may go to trial while the defense counsel will work towards having the case dismissed by cross examining the government witnesses and disputing any evidence presented.
