How does the trial by jury protect a citizens freedom?

History
1 answer:
Elena L [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The founding fathers included jury trials in the constitution, because jury trials prevent tyranny. The definition of tyranny is oppressive power applied by the government. Tyranny also exists when absolute power is established by a single ruler. Jury trials are the opposite of tyranny because the citizens of the jury are given the absolute power to make the final decision on a trial.

Explanation:

Trial by jury is a unique part of America’s democracy. Most countries do not have jury trials. Jury trials provide an opportunity for citizens to participate in the process of governing. Jury trials educate jurors about the justice system.  

Jury trials offer the voice of the people to the civil and criminal justice systems. If you are accused of a crime, you have the right to ask for a jury to judge if you are guilt or innocence. In a civil case, a jury of citizens will determine community standards and expectations in accordance with the law. It is not fair for judges and lawyers to take every important decision; they are not representative of the people. Juries provide the voice of common sense and the perspective of the citizens.

Why were europeans interested in exploration in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries answers?
natita [175]
Europeans wanted exploration in the 15th and 16th centuries for the belief that there was emense wealth in undiscovered countries. For example, king Ferdinand and queen Isabella of Spain sent Christopher Columbus on an exploration to find gold or other precious metals. When he landed in America, he didn't find gold but he knew he'd be punished for returning empty handed so came up with the idea to enslave indigineous people as an alternative form of wealth

Why was rent in harlem so high?
UNO [17]

The correct answer is; The rent was so high because the neighborhood was in demand because it was located in the city.

Further Explanation:

The people who lived in Harlem were mostly African Americans and immigrants. Harlem spans several blocks and houses more than 7000 people at a time, still in modern times. The rent was very high and the apartments would house more than one family at a time. Rent was the same for one room in an apartment as the rent for the whole apartment.

People who lived in Harlem would have "rent parties" on the weekends when they had a day off so that they could get the money to pay their rents. People would sleep in shifts and sleep in the floors of kitchens and hallways.
