Ο Ο
2nd Amendment: Right to own a gun
7th Amendment: Right to a trial of your peers
6th Amendment: Right to a speedy trial

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. 5th Amendment: Right to not be tried for the same crime twice

Explanation:

The 5th Amendment approved in 1791 regulates important aspects regarding trials and judicial processes. This includes the right of individuals to not be tried and processed for the same crime twice. This means that if you were accused of a crime in the past and it was determined you were innocent they cannot charge you again for the same crime. This occurs in the case presented because it is the second time Simon's is charged for exactly the same crime. Indeed, after there is a veridic about a crime the only way to change this is through an appeal, which means it is no legal for police to charge again Simon.
