people who have committed felonies are not permitted to serve on juries in many states.Also, in Tennessee and Arkansas. there are laws barring atheists from serving on juries and other public service positions. Sometimes,felons are denied the right to vote.Are these restrictions reasonable or discriminatory? why/why not? Are there other categories or actions that should also bar people from participating in "being the neighbors who judge and resolve disputes" across America? Use examples from history,literature,personal experience,community service,biographies,or science.

If all you do is post your entire assignment, with no evidence of thinking on your part, nothing will happen since no one here will do your work for you.

But if you are specific about what you don't understand about the assignment or exactly what help you need, someone might be able to assist you. Ask specific questions!

The Arkansas and Tennessee laws you mention are clearly not just discriminatory, but also unconstitutional. I am surprised they have not been challenged.

I suggest you review

to assist with your SAT essay.
