Answers
Explanation:
theory, all Americans charged with a crime are, so far as the law is concerned, equal before the bar of justice in every American court. This is guaranteed by the “due process” and the “equal protection” clauses to the Constitution, and the inspiration comes from the Bible: “You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor.” Justices of the Supreme Court and of many state courts take oaths to “do equal justice to the poor and to the rich.”
Unfortunately, despite all these guarantees and safeguards, the poor often meet with less than the same justice as the rich (or reasonably well off) in our courts. As Justice Black has stated, “There can be no equal justice where the kind of trial a man gets depends on the amount of money he has.”
