Which amendment guarantees the right to a speedy and public trial?

  1. 5th Amendment

  2. 6th Amendment

  3. 7th Amendment

  4. 8th Amendment

The correct answer is: 6th Amendment

The 5th Amendment guarantees the right to due process and the protection against self-incrimination, but it does not mention a speedy and public trial. The 7th Amendment guarantees the right to a jury trial in civil cases, not a criminal trial which is mentioned in the question. The 8th Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, but does not pertain to the right to a speedy and public trial. Therefore, the correct answer is the 6th Amendment, which ensures the rights of those accused in criminal prosecutions, including the right to a speedy and public trial.
