Question

Amendments that forbade the quartering of troops and guaranteed trial by jury related directly to:

a) abuses committees by the British in America
b) rights that were natural and granted to all people
c) the wishes of states, such as New York, who had withheld ratification
d) demands by the Antifederalists, who wanted a weaker central government.

Answer 1

Answer: The amendments that forbade the quartering of troops and guaranteed trial by jury related directly to b) rights that were natural and granted to all people.

Explanation: The Third Amendment to the United States Constitution places restrictions on the quartering (the placement and/or sheltering) of soldiers in private homes without the owner’s consent, forbidding the practice in peacetime. The Seventh Amendment states that all accused are guaranteed a jury trial, regardless of the severity of the crime.

These amendments were added to the Constitution to protect the natural rights of American citizens. The Founding Fathers believed that these rights were inherent and could not be taken away by any government. By guaranteeing these rights in the Constitution, they hoped to prevent abuses by the government and ensure that all citizens were treated fairly under the law.

Hope this helps, and have a great day!
