Answer:

It is possible to be judged in a TRIAL BY JURY.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quote belongs to Clause 39 of the Great Charter or Magna Carta which was signed by John Lackland in the year 1215. He was forced to sign because the Barons rebelled against his taxation abuses.

'Unless by the lawful judgment of his peers, or by the law of the land' is the first antecedent of the TRIAL BY JURY, besides, it stated the equality of all before the law.
