Explain how females and minorities have been formally and informally excluded from jury duty.
What will be an ideal response?
Examples should discuss how women and racial and ethnic minorities were historically excluded from serving in juries.

At present, LGBTQ persons are not protected from exclusion by any law at the federal level, although there are laws in some states.
