Question 14 • * HSA 26-27 US Government

Read the quotation from the Declaration of Independence."For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefit of Trial by Jury."Which legal change after the American Revolution most likely resulted from this grievance?

Answer
A
Due process of law was implemented.
B
A new legal system was founded.
C
The court system was established.
D
All colonial court cases were retried.

Explanation

The grievance objects to colonists being denied trial by jury. After independence, the Fifth and Sixth Amendments protected due process and the right to a jury trial in criminal cases. Therefore, “Due process of law was implemented” is the best choice; the other options do not specifically address this grievance.
