C - People accused of a crime have the right to be judged by a jury of peers before receiving punishment.
Here is the clause from the Magna Carta which states that principle:
Clause 39: <em>No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land.</em>
That assertion by The Magna Carta of 1215, that a person should not suffer punishment without the lawful judgment of his peers, influenced the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution. The opening lines of the 6th Amendment of the Constitution of the United States affirm that "in all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed."
At the time, most rulers were Catholic and believed that the Pope had influence over all of them. And to top all of that, Roman Catholicism was the only Christian religion at the time.

be the country where all men are free and equal but when it comes to Blacks,
that does not apply. Despite fighting a
war that restored the Union and freed the slaves, Blacks still did not enjoy
the same rights as white men hence the contradiction.
