What does the term COERCION mean?

To legally compel someone to fulfill a contract
To intimidate a witness into not testifying
To force a jury to reach a verdict
To compel or induce a person to engage in conduct that he has a legal right to engage in or not, by means of force or threat

The correct answer is: To compel or induce a person to engage in conduct that he has a legal right to engage in or not, by means of force or threat

Coercion means to compel or induce someone to engage in conduct they have a legal right to engage in or not, by means of force or threat. This is different from the options A, B, and C, which involve specific scenarios of legality, witness testimony, and jury deliberation. Option A involves legally compelling someone to fulfill a contract, but this contract could be for any type of agreement and is not necessarily related to force or threat. Option B involves intimidating a witness, but this does not necessarily involve the use of threats or force. Option C involves forcing a jury to reach a verdict, but this does not necessarily involve the use of threats or force. Therefore, option D is the most accurate description of the term coercion.
