6th Amendment

The Sixth Amendment guarantees that anyone accused of a crime has the right to a fair trial. This includes the right to be informed of the charges against them, to have a lawyer represent them, to cross-examine witnesses who testify against them, and to have a speedy and public trial. The goal is to ensure the accused has a fair opportunity to contest the evidence and present their case, promoting justice and preventing wrongful convictions.
