Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
What advantage does jury trial provide in terms of citizen involvement in the justice system?
Model answer
Jury trial provides public participation in the justice system, giving ordinary citizens a direct role in determining guilt or innocence.
- 2
How does the composition of a jury potentially benefit the justice system in terms of representing society?
Model answer
Juries bring a cross-section of society to decision-making, potentially reflecting community values and standards in their verdicts.
- 3
Why is jury secrecy considered an advantage for the deliberation process?
Model answer
Jury secrecy protects jurors from outside pressure and allows free deliberation without fear of repercussions.
- 4
What is jury equity?
Model answer
Jury equity is the ability of juries to deliver verdicts according to conscience, refusing to convict even where the law technically applies.
- 5
How does jury trial act as a constitutional safeguard against the state?
Model answer
Jury trial acts as a check on state power by requiring the prosecution to convince ordinary citizens rather than state-appointed officials.
- 6
Why do jury verdicts tend to carry public confidence and legitimacy?
Model answer
Because they represent the judgment of peers rather than professional judges, giving the verdict democratic legitimacy.
