Answer 1

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 reflects the importance the Founding Fathers placed on the right to a fair trial by jury, which was a significant concern during their struggle for independence.
