Explanation:

In Duncan v. Louisiana, the Supreme Court ruled that the Sixth Amendment's right to a jury trial (for non - petty offenses, generally sentences of six months or more) is incorporated to the states via the Fourteenth Amendment. Duncan's conviction was upheld (he was convicted of a misdemeanor but the court held that for such offenses with potential sentences of six months or more, a jury trial right applies, and his conviction was not overturned in a way that invalidated the process; he wasn't forced to serve the entire term, and the Sixth Amendment was incorporated). So the correct options are: "Citizens have the right to a jury trial in cases involving sentences of six months or more" and "Duncan's conviction was upheld by the court".

Answer:

C. Citizens have the right to a jury trial in cases involving sentences of six months or more
E. Duncan's conviction was upheld by the court
