How are the women's rights violated in The Crucible?

In the 21st century, everyone is entitled to a fair trial, and, in order to be found guilty, the burden is on the accuser (and their legal counsel) to prove the guilt of the accused beyond all reasonable doubt. However, in The Crucible, rather than assuming people are innocent until proven guilty, magistrates assume guilt, and the burden is on the accused to provide evidence of their innocence. For this reason, the rights (to our way of thinking) of those women (and men) accused of witchcraft are violated because they are not given fair trials.

Further, "spectral evidence" provided by the accusers is considered enough proof to merit a conviction; an example of spectral evidence would be when Abigail accuses Elizabeth Proctor of sending out her spirit to push a needle into Abigail's stomach. Thus, it is obviously very easy to falsify such "evidence." Moreover, the accused women (and men) are not allowed lawyers, and, for us, all accused persons have a right to legal counsel. Even when Mr. Hale pleads with Danforth to allow Proctor and Corey to return with a lawyer and their evidence to prove their wives' innocence, Danforth refuses. This denial violates the rights of the accused, as we understand rights in this day and age.
