The First Amendment to the Constitution protects your right to petition the government for a redress of grievances. When you are wronged, you have a right to seek a remedy through the government. While there are several ways we may petition the government for redress, the most common is the use of the courts. From criminal charges to civil suits, one of the main duties of government is to hear these cases and attempt to find justice. But like any other human system, there are flaws in the judiciary. Today, let’s take a look at some examples of the good and the bad. Maybe, when we learn more about how the system is supposed to work, we can help find redress for those who have been harmed.

We can also petition a grand jury. SCOTUS stated that the “right to petition” traces its origin back to Magna Carta of 1215 AD. In the Magna Carta, there was no elected parliament by the people. The English Parliament didn’t come about in its present form of “House of Lords”, “House of Commons”, and the Speaker of Parliament until around 1370. Thus, the “right to petition”, could not be to an elected legislature. Thus in its origin, the “Right to Petition” was to a grand jury. (And the 1st Amendment codified this pre existing right.) I would be glad to discuss this in an interview. I have been before a grand jury at my request.
