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 desire to ensure the right to a fair trial and the benefits of jury involvement in legal proceedings, which was a response to British practices that denied colonists such rights.
