Correct Answer
A. Trial by jury, innocent until proven guiltyExplanation
If a person is accused of a crime, they have the right to a trial by jury, which means their case will be heard by a group of impartial individuals who will determine their guilt or innocence. They are also presumed innocent until proven guilty, meaning that the burden of proof lies with the prosecution to prove their guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Additionally, they have the right to legal counsel, which ensures that they have a lawyer to represent and defend them throughout the legal process. The answer does not include the right to avoid jail or pleading the 5th amendment, which is the right to remain silent to avoid self-incrimination.Rate this question:
