The Sixth Amendment guarantees which rights?

The Sixth Amendment guarantees which rights?

• A. Right to bear arms
• B. Right to a speedy trial
• C. Right to remain silent
• D. Right to a lawyer and to question witnesses

Answer: (D)

The Sixth Amendment protects rights designed to ensure a fair criminal trial, including the right to have the assistance of counsel and the right to confront and question witnesses against you. The option that mentions both a lawyer and the ability to question witnesses best captures these central protections, which are explicit parts of the Sixth Amendment. The other choices point to rights from different amendments or only a single aspect of the Sixth (like a speedy trial), making them less comprehensive in illustrating what the Sixth Amend­ment guarantees.
