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.
