The Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution provides several rights related to criminal prosecutions. Two key rights afforded by the Sixth Amendment are:
-
The Right to a Speedy Trial: This ensures that a defendant has the right to have their trial conducted without unnecessary delays, providing timely justice.
-
The Right to Counsel: This guarantees that a defendant has the right to legal representation, and if they cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for them by the state.
These rights are essential in ensuring fair legal proceedings.
