Pete Hernandez, a Mexican American, was indicted for the murder of Joe Espinoza by an all-white grand jury in Jackson County, Texas. Hernandez's attorneys tried to get the charge thrown out, claiming that Mexican Americans were barred from the jury commission that selected juries and from trial juries. Hernandez also tried to reject the trial jury panel called for his case, because persons of Mexican descent were excluded. A Mexican American had not served on a jury in Jackson County in over 25 years. Based on these facts, Hernandez claimed that citizens of Mexican ancestry were discriminated against in the county. Hernandez was found guilty of murder. The all-white jury sentenced him to life in prison. His case was appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court in Hernandez v. Texas (1954).

Which statement best describes the key constitutional issue described in the case of Hernandez v. Texas?

Hernandez was denied his rights under the Privileges and Immunities Clause.
Texas violated the Seventh Amendment, which guarantees the right to an impartial jury trial.
Texas's jury selection process violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
Hernandez received an unfair sentence that violated his Eighth Amendment protection against cruel or unusual punishment.
