Question 15 • United States 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
The court system was established.
B
All colonial court cases were retried.
C
A new legal system was founded.
D
Due process of law was implemented.

Explanation

The grievance objects to being denied the right to a jury trial. After the Revolution, protections for fair legal procedures were included in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, including due process and jury-trial rights. Therefore, “Due process of law was implemented” is the best choice; the court system already existed under colonial rule, so it was not simply established after independence.
