 The Sixth Amendment sets forth provisions regarding criminal prosecutions.

It grants certain rights to the accused in order to ensure a fair and just trial and verdict rendering.

Because under United States law an individual is “innocent until proven guilty”, it is important for those facing accusations or allegations of a crime to be provided with specific rights.

 

The Sixth Amendment provides for six distinct rights under its provisions:

 

The Sixth Amendment, or Amendment VI of the United States Constitution is the section of the Bill of Rights that guarantees a citizen a speedy trial, a fair jury, an attorney if the accused person wants one, and the chance to confront the witnesses who is accusing the defendant of a crime, meaning he or she can see who is making accusations. The Sixth Amendment was introduced as a part of the Bill of Rights into the United States Constitution on September 5, 1789 and was voted for by 9 out of 12 states on December 15, 1791.
