2. Which of the following battles marked a turning point in the American Revolution?

The correct answer for number 1 is being given a fair trial before a jury.
Due process rights refer to the idea that all citizens are treated equally under the law. Specifically, all citizens are innocent until proven guilty, have the right to an attorney, have the right to a jury trial, etc. These safeguards ensure that all citizens have the same rights in America's legal system
The correct answer to number 2 is Battle of Saratoga.
The Battle of Saratoga was a win by the American colonists over the British army. This is considered a turning point because this victory over the British convinced the French that America could actually win the war against the British. After this battle, the French would provide desperately needed supplies and help from military leaders like Marquis De Lafayette. Without the French help in the American Revolution, the Americans may have lost to Britain.
