This case will need to be tried at least in a federal and a transnational or international court. Moreover, this will involve both national and international jurisdictions.
In law, there are three main types of courts:
- Constitutional courts.
- Federal courts.
- Transnational courts.
Each of these applies the jurisdiction of the same level. For example, a constitutional court will apply the constitutional laws and specific state laws.
In the case presented, two of these courts are required:
- Federal court: This is necessary because the crime was perpetrated in the U.S. territory, and therefore criminals are judged under U.S. Federal law.
- Transnational court: Considering the pirates might not be American, and therefore there are at least 2 countries involved, it is necessary to consider the case under international maritime laws.

Answer:
hey mari!!
Explanation:
On July 28, 1868, the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified. The amendment grants citizenship to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States" which included former slaves who had just been freed after the Civil War. The amendment had been rejected by most Southern states but was ratified by the required three-fourths of the states. Known as the "Reconstruction Amendment," it forbids any state to deny any person "life, liberty or property, without due process of law" or to "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Other groups tried to use the 14th Amendment to further their causes. Women attempted to use it to proclaim their right to vote, and African Americans tried to use it as well. On May 18, 1896, the Supreme Court ruled in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson that "separate but equal" facilities were considered sufficient to satisfy the 14th Amendment. It wasn't until May 17, 1954, however, that the Court reversed the Plessy decision, bringing the era of government-sanctioned segregation to an end.
It was the 15th Amendment, ratified in 1870, which finally gave African Americans the right to vote. It states that "the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." In practice, however, it took almost 100 more years and the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to remove barriers such as poll taxes, literacy tests, and intimidation that prevented African Americans and other people of color from freely exercising their right to vote. Note that the 15th amendment makes no mention of sex. It was not until the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920 that women were explicitly given the vote.
