The Sixth Amendment: Protecting Fair Trials and American Justice
Ratified in 1791, the Sixth Amendment protects your rights once you are accused of a crime.
It ensures fairness, transparency, and accountability inside the courtroom.

The Six Major Protections
1. Speedy Trial
The government can’t delay your case indefinitely.
2. Public Trial
Justice must be open and visible.
3. Impartial Jury
Regular citizens decide guilt — not the government.
4. Informed of Charges
You must know exactly what accusation you are facing.
5. Confront Witnesses
You can challenge and question anyone testifying against you.
6. Right to a Lawyer
If you can’t afford an attorney, one will be provided.

Why It Matters Today
From minor cases to major felonies, these protections keep the justice system fair and prevent government abuse.
The Sixth Amendment ensures the courtroom belongs to the people — not to the government.
