PLEASE SEPARATE EACH QUESTION, 250 WORDS MINIMUM FOR EACH, MUST HAVE IN TEXT CITATIONS AND REFERENCES
1. In Duncan v. Louisiana (1968), the defendant was charged with and found guilty of simple battery without a jury trial as Louisiana law stated that it was a misdemeanor and punishable by less than 2 years of imprisonment. At issue was whether Duncan's 6th Amendment right to an impartial jury was violated by the state of Louisiana.
This case is an example of selective incorporation, which is a constitutional doctrine that ensures that states cannot enact laws that take away the constitutional rights of U.S. citizens guaranteed to them by the Bill of Rights.

2. In Witherspoon v. Illinois (1968), the U.S. Supreme Court held that jurors cannot be removed merely because of general scruples against capital punishment, adding that a juror may be excluded "for cause" if it is "unmistakably clear" that he or she would automatically vote against the death penalty if sought by the prosecutor or if the juror could not be impartial in the determination of the defendant's guilt.
This holding was affirmed in Lockhart v. McCree (1986).
