Someone accused of a crime generally has the right to a fair trial by an impartial jury. But a defendant doesn’t have the right to a trial in the county of his choice. Circumstances that make juror impartiality unlikely can, however, arise. In those circumstances, defense attorneys often “move” to have the trial take place somewhere else. (In most states, the prosecution can’t request a change of venue.)

Some state constitutions address the right to a change of venue, but in most states, the issue is left to statutes or court rules. These laws and rules explain how to request a change of venue, and may impose deadlines to file the requisite motion.

Which statement is in line with the individual rights theory?

bonufazy [111]

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by the question is the first choice "Innocent people should not be denied guns just because criminals use them illegally."

Under this "individual right theory," the United States Constitution restricts legislative bodies from prohibiting firearm possession, or at the very least, the Amendment renders prohibitory and restrictive regulation presumptively unconstitutional.

I hope my answer has come to your help. God bless and have a nice day ahead!

At the constitutional convention of 1787 which problem was solved by the great compromise

Leviafan [203]

It resolved the issue of representation in the U.S legislature. Larger states wanted larger and better representation due to their larger population and amount of resources. Smaller states wanted equal representation because they didn't want to later on be overpowered by congress

1. Which of the following describes where settlers of North American countries would have most likely chosen to live?

adelina 88 [10]

Question 1 I believe is D because in early America, when not many people were settled here, people settled up north where fish were plentiful and there were lots of forests for foresting, so lumber could be traded to other countries. Question 2 I believe is D because it makes the most sense and the other statements are not very true because most people see mountains as barriers, and the climate of North America is not the same throughout so there are lots of products that can be made in different areas.
