The document that guarantees the presumption of innocence until conviction in a court of law is the United States Constitution.
To arrive at this answer, it is important to have a basic understanding of the purpose and contents of each of the options provided.
Option B, the Articles of Confederation, was the first constitution of the United States, but it did not explicitly address the presumption of innocence.
Option C, the Civil Rights Act, is an important law that prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. While it upholds a person's rights, including the right to a fair trial, it does not specifically address the presumption of innocence.
Option D, the Supreme Court Bylaws, are internal rules and procedures that govern the operations of the Supreme Court. They do not encompass constitutional rights, including the presumption of innocence.
By process of elimination, we can conclude that option A, the United States Constitution, is the correct answer. The Constitution, specifically the Fifth Amendment, states that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. This includes the presumption of innocence until proven guilty in a court of law.
