ANSWER:

'The accused is innocent until proven guilty' is the legal concepts that the US adopted form the ancient Romans

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Roman laws have influenced various countries laws to this day.
  • Roman Civil laws are the base and foundation of social control in most western societies.
  • The Supreme Court of the United States and other US courts have also referenced and used roman laws.
  • Roman laws still have a large influence on legal writers and lawyers and they often write and reference roman laws that are then caught up on courts and referenced by laws.
  • In 1895, the US researched the presumption of innocence based on Roman law.
