1. To determine the correct answer, we need to understand what plea bargaining is and what the Supreme Court's stance on its validity is. Plea bargaining is a process in which a defendant pleads guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a more lenient sentence.
Now, let's consider the options provided:
A. "Declined to decide on" suggests that the Supreme Court has not made a decision regarding the validity of plea bargaining. However, this is not accurate because the Supreme Court has indeed addressed this issue.
B. "Upheld" indicates that the Supreme Court supports the validity of plea bargaining. If the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of plea bargaining, this would be the correct choice.
C. "Challenged" means that the Supreme Court questions the validity of plea bargaining. However, this does not accurately reflect the Supreme Court's stand on this issue.
D. "None of the above" implies that the correct answer is not among the given options. This could potentially be the correct choice if the Supreme Court has neither upheld nor declined to decide on the validity of plea bargaining.
Based on the information provided, the correct answer is B. "Upheld" as it aligns with the general understanding that the Supreme Court has indeed supported the validity of plea bargaining in the past.
2. To determine the correct answer, we need to identify which constitutional amendment guarantees the right to a speedy and public trial for the accused.
A. The Fifth Amendment protects various rights such as the right against self-incrimination and due process, but it does not specifically address the right to a speedy and public trial.
B. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a speedy and public trial, as well as the right to an impartial jury and the right to confront witnesses.
C. The Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment but does not address the right to a speedy and public trial.
D. The Fourteenth Amendment provides equal protection under the law but does not specifically address the right to a speedy and public trial.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. The Sixth Amendment gives the accused the right to a speedy and public trial.
1. The correct answer is B. The Supreme Court has upheld the validity of plea bargaining.
2. Yes, you are correct. The constitutional amendment that gives the accused the right to a speedy and public trial is the Sixth Amendment.
