Question 15 • *NBHS FL-2106010-M/J Civics A

If a Florida citizen is arrested for stealing money, which protection in the Declaration of Rights might be the best one to refer to for keeping the accused out of jail before trial?

Answer
A
double jeopardy
B
imprisonment for debt
C
excessive punishments
D
pretrial release and detention

Explanation

The question asks about keeping someone out of jail before trial. Florida’s Declaration of Rights includes a protection concerning pretrial release and detention, which governs whether an accused person may be released while awaiting trial. “Imprisonment for debt” concerns being jailed over unpaid debts, not an arrest for stealing money.
