Question 6 • CMS 2026-2027 Founding Principles of the US and NC: Civic Literacy CREDIT RECOVERY
A petit jury decides the facts in a trial. In a criminal case, jurors must generally agree unanimously that the defendant is guilty before returning a guilty verdict. Civil juries decide disputes between parties, such as whether someone is liable and whether damages should be awarded; they do not decide criminal guilt. Thus, the choice stating that unanimity about guilt applies only to criminal cases is correct.
