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 colonists' desire to ensure the right to a fair trial and to have the benefits of trial by jury, which was often denied under British rule.
