Question: 1 / 400

Which amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to a trial by jury in criminal cases?

First Amendment.

Fourth Amendment.

Sixth Amendment.

The 6th Amendment guarantees the right to a trial by jury in criminal cases, which means that the accused has the right to have their case heard and decided by a group of their peers. Option A, the First Amendment, guarantees freedom of speech, religion, and the press. Option B, the Fourth Amendment, protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. Option D, the Eighth Amendment, prohibits excessive bail and cruel and unusual punishment. While these amendments are all important parts of the Constitution, they do not specifically address the right to a trial by jury in criminal cases like the 6th Amendment does.
