An instrument developed by the federal government that uses a grid system that allows the court to arrive at a more consistent sentence is the Sentencing Guidelines.
The U.S. Sentencing Commission has published rules that define a uniform approach to sentencing for people and organisations found guilty of felonies and serious (Class A) misdemeanours in the federal court system of the United States. These guidelines are known as the United States Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Less serious felonies and violations are not covered by the Guidelines.
The US Supreme Court decided in The United States v. Booker in 2005 that the Guidelines' original form violated the Sixth Amendment's right to a jury trial. As a result, the law's sections making the Guidelines mandatory were eliminated.
