citizens accused of crimes would be entitled to a trial by jury.

Explanation: Magna Carta (1215), especially clause 39 ("no free man shall be... deprived of his liberty except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land"), influenced American ideas of due process and the right to jury trial, later reflected in the Sixth and Seventh Amendments.
