What does the 6th amendment guarantee to those accused of a crime?

  1. Right to a trial by jury

  2. Protection from self-incrimination

  3. Right to vote

  4. Freedom from excessive bail

The correct answer is: Right to a trial by jury

The 6th amendment guarantees the right to a trial by jury to those accused of a crime. This means that the accused has the right to have their case heard by a group of unbiased individuals who will assess the evidence and determine their guilt or innocence. Option B, protection from self-incrimination, is guaranteed by the 5th amendment, not the 6th. Option C, right to vote, is guaranteed by various other amendments, such as the 15th and 19th. Option D, freedom from excessive bail, is guaranteed by the 8th amendment, not the 6th. Therefore, all of the other options are incorrect and do not pertain to what the 6th amendment guarantees.
