Question 40 • American Government/Civics

Read the passage. You shall not render an unjust judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great: with justice you shall judge your neighbor. Which practice of American government is reflected in this excerpt from Judeo-Christian principles?

Answer
A
representative democracy
B
separation of church and state
C
separation of powers
D
trial by a jury of peers

Explanation

The passage says judgments should be fair and impartial, without favoring either the poor or the powerful. Trial by a jury of peers reflects this principle by having a group of people judge a case rather than leaving the decision to one person. The other choices describe how government is structured, not how fair trials are conducted.
