The jury system has its roots in England during the 12th century, particularly under the reign of King Henry II. It evolved from local customs and practices where community members would gather to provide testimony and assist in legal decisions. The system was formalized in the Magna Carta of 1215, which established the principle of a trial by one's peers. Over time, the jury system spread to other countries, including the United States, where it became a fundamental aspect of the legal framework.
