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.

Summarize the Supreme Court case plessy v. Ferguson?
Xelga [282]

Plessy v. Ferguson, case in which the U.S. Supreme Court, on May 18, 1896, by a seven-to-one majority (one justice did not participate), advanced the controversial “separate but equal” doctrine for assessing the constitutionality of racial segregationlaws. Plessy v. Ferguson was the first major inquiry into the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment’s (1868) equal-protection clause, which prohibits the states from denying “equal protection of the laws” to any person within their jurisdictions. Although the majority opinion did not contain the phrase “separate but equal,” it gave constitutionalsanction to laws designed to achieve racial segregation by means of separate and supposedly equal public facilities and services for African Americans and whites. It served as a controlling judicial precedent until it was overturned by the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954).
