Answer 1

The correct response is the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta, signed in 1215, is considered one of the foundational documents that established the principle of the right to a jury trial. While the U.S. Constitution and various state constitutions, including the Texas Constitution, later codified this right, the concept originated with the Magna Carta.
