Question 7 • *NBHS FL-2106010-M/J Civics A

Protection from double jeopardy is in the Florida Declaration of Rights and the Bill of Rights. What is double jeopardy?

Answer
A
being tried more than once for theft
B
being tried more than once for murder
C
being tried more than once for the same crime
D
being tried more than once for any crime in a lifetime

Explanation

Double jeopardy means the government cannot try someone more than once for the same crime, with some legal exceptions. It is not limited to theft or murder, and it does not prevent a person from being tried for different crimes at different times. Therefore, the correct choice is “being tried more than once for the same crime.”
