19: Countdown to Constitution Day

Today's Topic: The 6th & 7th Amendments

6th A person has the right to a fair and speedy trial by a jury.

7th A person has the right to a jury trial for civil cases.

Every person has the right to a fair and speedy jury trial for civil cases. In order to protect this civil right, US citizens are called for jury duty.

Sometimes jury duty is inconvient, but serving on a jury guarantees that everyone is treated fairly and equally under the law. Serving on a jury is an important responsibility for each US citizen.
