How are jury decisions in Louisiana different from those in most other US states?

History
1 answer:
grin007 [14]3 years ago
8 0

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.

Read the excerpt from Simón Bolívar’s letter,
ahrayia [7]

The correct answer is "the tie that bound her to Spain has been severed". The "tie" refers to the colonial rule and "her" refers to America. To put in other words, Bolívar says in that sentence that the colonial rule of Spain over America is over.

With "kept the parts of that immense monarchy together", Bolívar is refering that only the concept of colonialism held the Spanish Empire together, but no one on the American continent felt bounded with the Spanish mainland.

The sentence "inspired in us is greater than the ocean between us" refers to the fact that America and Spain are so far from each other (there is literally an ocean between them), so there is little connection between the two. In this sentence he also says that the hate of the Spanish towards the Americans is bigger than the ocean between Spain and America.

This will not be found in the Declaration, but how did the King's actions go against what the colonists viewed as "good governme
Ksju [112]

Answer:

The colonists saw the model of good government as one that respected the civil, economic, political and commercial liberties of its citizens. Therefore, King George's measures to limit the freedoms of the American colonists went against this vision.  Thus, high taxes, military control, and civil and political limitations imposed by the British were frowned upon in the Thirteen Colonies.

Specifically, the Intolerable Acts were seen as the turning point that meant the development of a tyranny in the colonies, which was rejected by the colonists and ended up opting for the American Revolution.
