Question

United States citizens have these additional rights in court: a speedy and public trial, a jury trial in a criminal case, the right to face their accusers, the right to call witnesses on their behalf, right to a lawyer if they cannot afford one. What does the amendment say

Answer 1

The rights you described are primarily outlined in the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution. It states:

> "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense."

This amendment ensures that individuals facing criminal charges have fundamental rights to ensure fair legal proceedings.
