b) harriet doesn’t have to be informed of the charge brought against her.
c) harriet’s case must go before a grand jury.
d) harriet won’t stand trial but will be sentenced by the judge

Explanation:

For Question 10:

• State sanctions are penalties from a state, not self-rule.
• Abolitionism is ending a practice (e.g., slavery), unrelated.
• Federalism splits power between state and national governments.
• Popular sovereignty means people make their own laws.

For Question 11:

• The Sixth Amendment guarantees a speedy trial for criminal defendants, even after a guilty plea.
• Option B is incorrect because the amendment requires being informed of charges.
• Option C is incorrect because grand jury requirements apply to federal felony cases, not all pretrial guilty pleas.
• Option D is incorrect because a guilty plea leads to sentencing, but the core Sixth Amendment right listed that applies is the speedy trial guarantee (and the right to sentencing proceedings which fall under fair trial protections, but option A is the direct applicable right here).

Answer:

Question 10: D) popular sovereignty.
Question 11: A) Harriet is guaranteed to a speedy trial.
