Jackson v. Minnesota

Jackson v. Minnesota was a legal case that addressed whether a defendant's right to a fair trial could be compromised by the state's process of selecting and dismissing potential jurors based on their gender. The Supreme Court ruled that excluding jurors solely because of gender violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Essentially, the case reinforced that jury selection must be fair and non-discriminatory, ensuring all qualified individuals have an equal opportunity to serve regardless of gender.
