Trial by jury is an important right for a defendant on trial because a. gives citizens a meaningful way to participate in civic life. b. protect the not guilty from wrongful conviction. c. relieves judges from the burden of making decisions. d. ensures that criminals are punished for crimes

I believe the answer is: B. helps protect the not guilty from wrongful conviction.

Without the jury, the final decision regarding whether a person is guilty or not would 100% fall to the hand of the government.

This mean that the government officials could technically arrest every citizens who do not conform to their ideals without giving the chance for the suspect to defend themselves.
