-Explanation: No citizen can be put on trial for a serious crime until a grand jury decides that it is needed because of collected evidence. Only military officers can go to court without a grand jury confirming it is needed, if they commit a crime during war. If a citizen commits a crime and is found not guilty in court, that person cannot be taken back to court for the same crime. In court, the government cannot force someone to testify against themselves. The government also cannot take away a citizen’s property for public use without somehow paying them back for it. ]]> 2018-10-25 17:35:42 UTC https://padlet.com/mchristine1/ssdplxgxx0qh/wish/297088802 mchristine1 https://padlet.com/mchristine1/ssdplxgxx0qh/wish/297089287 -"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor; and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense."
-Explanation: Every citizen has a right to a quick trial, meaning they will not sit in jail for years waiting for their trial. Trials will have juries that are not prejudiced or biased against the situation. A person who is accused with a crime has the right to know what they are being charged with and for how long. An accused person is allowed to call for help from anyone who could help prove them innocent. They also have the right to an attorney. ]]> 2018-10-25 17:36:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mchristine1/ssdplxgxx0qh/wish/297089287 mchristine1 https://padlet.com/mchristine1/ssdplxgxx0qh/wish/297089693 -"In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury shall be otherwise reexamined in any court of the United States than according to the rules of the common law."
