[ilxippxh] Jury of peers right

The U.S. Constitution makes no mention of a right to a jury of your peers, so some argue therefore there is no such right.

In fact, the Constitution explicitly states that the rights enumerated in the Constitution should not be construed to deny rights not listed (Amendment 9). To say there is no such right, you must argue from first principles of human rights, and not rely on its absence in the Constitution.

Furthermore, the right to a jury of peers does appear in the 1640 (1641?) Act of the English Parliament abolishing the Star Chamber, so is on the books as English law inherited at the country's founding, laws that remain in force until repealed or otherwise annulled.  Certainly we have not passed a law reestablishing the Star Chamber, though there have been other laws clarifying jury selection.
