Which right allows a person to defend themselves before the courts?

In the exam (French)

Quel droit permet à une personne de se défendre devant la justice ?

  1. aThe right to strikeLe droit de grève
  2. bThe right of asylumLe droit d’asile
  3. cThe rights of the defenceLes droits de la défenseCorrect answer
  4. dThe right of petitionLe droit de pétition

Why?

The rights of the defence (droits de la défense) allow anyone who is prosecuted to know what they are accused of, to respond and to be assisted by a lawyer. They go together with the presumption of innocence: you are innocent until a court has decided otherwise. If you do not have enough money, legal aid (aide juridictionnelle) can pay for the lawyer.
