Based on this quote from Thomas Jefferson, why is jury duty an important civic responsibility? "I consider trial by jury as the

only anchor yet imagined by a man, by which government can be held to the principles of its constitution." A jury meets the moral obligations of the law. A jury protects the defendant from a biased and one-sided trial. A jury upholds the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. A jury determines the laws the government can apply in a case.

Answer:

A jury protects the defendant from a biased and one-sided trial.

Explanation:

In this statement, Jefferson tells us that the main reason why a jury is important in law is because it forces the government to follow the principles that are outlined in the Constitution. This means that Jefferson believes that, without a jury, the government might be tempted to not follow the law. This would result in a biased and one-sided trial.

Why were nations such as czechoslovakia, east germany, hungary, and poland called satellite states of the soviet union?
Lelechka [254]

Answer: D is correct

Explanation:

governments of these countries were not sovereign from the very beginning of the establishment of so-called "popular democracy" (1940s). The establishment itself of these regimes was schemed by Soviet spies, information services and local (Czech, Hungarian or German) communists. Elections through which communists came to power were usually manipulated. When local communists came to power they did not lead their own policy but were controled and dominated by Soviet communist party. That is why historians use term "satellite". It is an expression of dependency, obedience.

What are the four major economic shifts (in chronological order) the united states has experienced?
Yanka [14]
<span>The modern American economy traces its roots to the quest of European settlers for economic gain in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. The New World then progressed from a marginally successful colonial economy to a small, independent farming economy and, eventually, to a highly complex industrial economy.

During this evolution, the United States developed ever more complex institutions to match its growth. And while government involvement in the economy has been a consistent theme, the extent of that involvement generally has increased.</span>
