Answer the following question in a well-developed, MLA-formatted, TYPED RACE response and submit here in classroom:
Is Jury Duty a civic duty or a right?
*CONTEXT*
"Civic duty" refers to responsibilities of citizens.
"Right" can be a synonym for "privilege."
In order to be part of a jury, you are summoned by the state. You must be registered to vote to receive a jury summons. If you do, you are required to show up and go through the interview process. If chosen, you must sit on the jury for whichever trial you are assigned and go through the entire process.
So, let me rephrase the question: Do you view jury duty as a responsibility of an American citizen or a privilege?
This is due by class time on Monday.
Have a great weekend!
