In The Constitution of the United States: The Right of Trial by Jury Clause - 7th Amendment, it states, in its entirety, the following:

In The Constitution of the United States: The Right of Due Process of Law and Equal Protection Clause - 14th Amendment, Section 1, it states, in part, the following:
"... nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
1. The first question presented is whether the aforementioned 7th, 5th, and 14th Amendments to The Constitution of the United States are still in effect in the United States, especially for pro se litigants who cannot afford to hire an honest, competent, and experienced litigator; and if so, was the pro se Petitioner denied his said federal constitutionally protected and inviolate rights to a jury trial, to due process of law, and to equal protection under the law?

In the Constitution of the State of Connecticut: The Equal Protection Clause - Article XXI, it states, in part, the following:

2. The second question presented is whether the aforementioned Article IV, Article XVII, and Article XXI of the Constitution of the State of Connecticut are still in effect in Connecticut, especially for pro se litigants who cannot afford to hire an honest, competent, and experienced litigator; and if so, was the pro se Petitioner denied his said state constitutionally protected and inviolate rights to a jury trial, to due process of law, and to equal protection under the law?
