Question 1 • *NBHS FL-2106010-M/J Civics A

According to due process, when can a person can be deprived of their liberty?

Answer
A
Someone has accused a person of committing a crime.
B
Police officers want to question a witness to a crime.
C
A person has a trial by jury and receives a guilty verdict.
D
Two people have a dispute that is taken to a civil court.

Explanation

Due process means the government must follow fair legal procedures before taking away someone’s liberty. An accusation or police questioning alone does not establish that a person may be punished. A jury trial that results in a guilty verdict can provide the legal basis for a sentence that restricts liberty, so the correct choice is “A person has a trial by jury and receives a guilty verdict.”
