The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution gives Americans the right to a speedy trial, a public trial, an impartial jury, to be tried in the state in which the crime was committed, a notice of accusation, the common law rule preventing the admission of hearsay, for a defendant to call witnesses in his favor, and to be represented by counsel. The exact text is:
"In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defense."
