Answer 1

a. It takes much longer to conduct Voir Dire in the U. S. than other countries like Canada or England

Step-by-step explanation:

In the USA Voir Dire takes longer due to its investigative nature. This is because in addition to questioning the jurors about possible prejudices and biases that they may present, an investigation is also carried out on the qualifications and background of the experts who will paeticipate in the process. This is all done to prevent inappropriate people from participating in something so important and that it can influence the lives of many people.
