A resident of Maine is accused of murder and requests a grand jury indictment; however, the Maine legislature has recently passed a law doing away with grand jury trials, even when requested. The defendant is eventually found guilty and appeals his case all the way to the US Supreme Court. Under selective incorporation, what is the most likely result of this Supreme Court case?

A) The Supreme Court will likely find against the state of Maine because the rights “retained by the people” mentioned in the Ninth Amendment would be applied through the doctrine of selective incorporation.

B) The Supreme Court will likely find in favor of the state of Maine because the 10th Amendment’s guarantee of states’ rights could be applied through selective incorporation.

C) The Supreme Court will likely find in favor of the state of Maine, because the 11th Amendment’s limitation on judicial power could be included in the doctrine of selected incorporation.

D)The Supreme Court will likely find against the state of Maine, since the Fifth Amendment guarantees the right to indictment by a grand jury, and no state may deprive a citizen of this right.

the passage of a strict fugitive slave law

athenian democracy developed around the fifth century bc in the greek city-state (known as a polis) of athens, comprising the city of athens and the surrounding territory of attica, and is often described as the first known democracy in the world. other greek cities set up democracies, most following the athenian model, but none are as well documented as athens'.

it was a political system of direct democracy, in which participating citizens voted directly on legislation and executive bills. participation was not open to all residents: to vote one had to be an adult, male citizen, i.e., not a foreign resident, a submissive or a woman, and the number of these was "probably no more than 30 percent of the total adult population."[1]

the longest-lasting democratic leader was pericles. after his death, athenian democracy was twice briefly interrupted by oligarchic revolutions towards the end of the peloponnesian war. it was modified somewhat after it was restored under eucleides; the most detailed accounts of the system are of this fourth-century modification rather than the periclean system. democracy was suppressed by the macedonians in 322 bc. the athenian institutions were later revived, but how close they were to a real democracy is debatable. solon (594 bc), cleisthenes (508/7 bc), and ephialtes (462 bc) contributed to the development of athenian democracy. cleisthenes broke up the power of the nobility by organizing citizens into ten groups based on where they lived rather than on their wealth.
