Chad and some friends were accused of breaking into a government building and ruining several priceless paintings. Chad was arrested and charged with a federal crime. Chad waited for three years before his case is heard by a judge. When he went to court, Chad claimed that his rights had been violated. How could he use the U.S. Constitution to support his claim?

"The First Amendment clearly protects my right to assemble, even in government buildings."
"The Fourth Amendment protects me from unreasonable search and seizure."
"The Fifth Amendment protects my right not to answer questions that will incriminate me."
"The Sixth Amendment protects my right to a fair and speedy trial."

Answer: D. "The Sixth Amendment protects my right to a fair and speedy trial."

Explanation: Since Chad waited three years before his case was heard, that means that his right to fair and speedy trial has been violated. The reason it was violated is because he definitely isn't having a speedy trial. Chad can use this in court.
