Simple Definition

A general challenge is when someone questions the fairness or legality of a person, action, or thing. This can happen in court when someone thinks a law or policy is unfair or unconstitutional. It can also happen when someone wants to disqualify a potential juror from serving on a jury because of bias or prejudice. A general challenge is different from a peremptory challenge, which is when someone can remove a potential juror without giving a reason.

The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom.
