Question

In a landmark case involving gender discrimination, Laura Johnson, a defense attorney, is preparing to challenge the constitutionality of her state's jury selection process, which still includes exemptions that disproportionately exclude women from serving on juries. Inspired by historical precedents and the evolution of women's rights to jury service, Laura plans to argue that these exemptions violate the Sixth Amendment's fair cross-section requirement. What historical event or legal precedent should Laura Johnson cite to strengthen her argument against the state's jury selection process's gender-based exclusions? Group of answer choices She should cite the establishment of Wyoming as the first state to allow women to serve on juries in 1870 as proof of a longstanding tradition of gender inclusivity in jury service Laura should reference the Glasser v. United States (1942) decision, where the Supreme Court recognized the right of women to serve on federal juries, highlighting the federal government's stance on gender equality in jury service Laura's strongest argument comes from citing the Supreme Court decision in Taylor v. Louisiana (1975), which found that the systematic exclusion of women from jury service violated the fair cross-section requirement of the Sixth Amendment She should focus on the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957, emphasizing its role in initiating the removal of discriminatory exemptions for women in federal jury service.
