context_page_description: Article Three of the United States Constitution creates the judicial branch of the United States government. It creates the Supreme Court of the United States, and allows the United States Congress to create less powerful federal courts. It also sets out the powers that these courts have.
context_section_description: Clause 3 of Section 2 says that federal crimes have to be tried in front of a jury, unless the defendant does not want a jury.  The only type of federal crime that is not tried before a jury is an impeachment.  (Article One, Section 3 of the Constitution says that only the United States Senate can try impeachment cases.)
  Clause 3 also says the person's trial must be held in the state where they did the crime.  If they did not do the crime in any particular state, then Congress gets to choose where the trial will be held.
  Several of the Constitutional Amendments in the Bill of Rights talk more about the rights of people who are on trial in criminal or civil court.
