Quality answers get the most points-skipping over parts of the question and submitting a few minutes before the due date usually is not quality work.
1. As you are aware, the Magna Carta is deemed to be the founding document for many of the western civilization’s nation’s basis for a criminal justice system. Given the current climate and world events, do you feel that the ideas put forth in the Magna Carta would/will be adopted by Middle East countries whose governments are undergoing dramatic change? Why or why not?
2. If you could either add or subtract to the Bill of Rights, what changes would you make and why? Provide a rationale as to why it would be a benefit to the nation.
3. Do you feel that those people declared “enemy combatants’ should be provided the same rights under the criminal justice system as United States citizens? Why or why not? Provide a rationale as to the basis of your decision.
4.In jury trials, the parties are generally entitled to strike any prospective juror for cause, such as some relation to the defendant, or already-formed opinions about guilt. Do you feel that this process protects the integrity of the trial process in coming to a just verdict, or is it possible that the side with the most able and talented attorney is able to manipulate the jury composition in such a manner as to slant the jury one way or another before the trial even starts? Why or why not?
