In Louisiana Jury decision need not be unanimous.

Explanation:

Each and every Juror need not be convinced for the defendant' guilt. If the judges claim to be of similar opinion then the guilt proves to be reasonable but its not the majority of the judges opinion. Judges love this process as it expedites the deliberations and most of the cases are solved faster.

Unanimity is required in all criminal cases which are of third degree severity. In a state where the racial disparity is to the maximum and unanimity of jury persists then, there are many chances for the defendant to be convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole based upon a 10-2 vote of the jury decisions.

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

The Constitution established three strong branches of government.

Explanation:

The Articles of Confederation was pretty bad, even though it did officially unite the thirteen colonies. It gave no power to the government and it was very weak, so it had many flaws. With the Constitution, this granted three new strong branches of government, a definite change from the Articles of Confederation. This made the Legislative Branch which made laws for the people. Along with this, it also gave Congress the House of Representatives and the Senate. The United States Constitution finally gave the Executive Branch which is to make sure the laws are passed.
