Criminal defendants must be tried by a jury of their peers, or fellow citizens. is this passive voice or active?

The sentence is in passive voice.

Explanation:

When it comes to passive constructions with modal verbs, the general rule is:

Object + modal verb (can/could/may/must/should/ought to) + be + past participle.

In this case, the object is criminal defendants, followed by a passive construction - must (modal verb) + be + tried (past participle of verb to try).
