The grievance from the Declaration of Independence that led the American colonists to create the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is: “[They deprive] us, in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury.” This grievance reflects concerns over fair trial rights, which the Sixth Amendment directly addresses by guaranteeing the right to a speedy and public trial, an impartial jury, and legal counsel.
