Should attorneys be allowed to use their discretion in selecting jurors? Does the risk of discrimination and jury manipulation that appears in the use of peremptory challenges outweigh the value of giving the attorneys discretion to exclude jurors who might be leaning toward the opposition?

Subject - Religion 1100-005

One theme in this module is the perceived tension between free exercise of religion (guaranteed under the 1st amendment to the Constitution) and equal protection under the law (guaranteed by the 14th amendment to the U.S. Constitution).

Excerpt from 1st Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”


Excerpt from Section 1 of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
“No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

In short, which is more at risk: freedom of religion OR equality of all people under the law? Explain your answer.
