Many Americans regard the jury system as a concrete expression of crucial democratic values, including the principles that all citizens who meet minimal qualifications of age and literacy are equally competent to serve on juries; that jurors should be selected randomly from a representative cross section of the community; that no citizen should be denied the right to serve on a jury on account of race, religion, sex, or national origin; that defendants are entitled to trial by their peers; and that verdicts should represent the conscience of the community and not just the letter of the law.
许多美国人将陪审团制度视为关键民主价值观的具体体现，包括以下原则：所有符合年龄和读写能力最低要求的公民在担任陪审员方面都是同样胜任的；陪审员应从社区中具有代表性的各个群体中随机选出；不应因种族、宗教、性别或民族出身而剥夺任何公民担任陪审员的权利；被告有权接受同辈的审判；以及陪审团的裁决应体现社区的良知，而不仅仅是法律条文。
