Answer to Question 1

It was not until 1975 and the case of Taylor v. Louisiana that the Supreme Court stated, We accept the fair cross-section requirements as fundamental to the jury trial guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment. Taylor was therefore significant because (1) it abandoned the equal protection approach and (2) it applied the Sixth Amendment's fair cross-section requirement to the state courts through the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Taylor was also significant because it abandoned the requirement of significant exclusion, replacing it with the lower standard of systematic exclusion. That is, in order to succeed with a fair cross-section challenge, the defendant need only show systematic exclusion of a distinctive group, not necessarily exclusion that was significant.
