Plea
In legal terms, a plea is simply an answer to a claim made by someone in a criminal case under common law using the adversarial system.

The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its us ...
