A. It ensures that members of the public decide the guilt of the accused, not a single judge.
Trial by jury is a fundamental aspect of due process, as it involves a group of peers—ordinary citizens—who evaluate the evidence and determine the guilt or innocence of the accused. This collective decision-making process helps to prevent bias and ensures that the verdict reflects the values and judgments of the community, rather than being solely in the hands of a single judge.
