Answer:

Sixth

Step-by-step explanation:

The Sixth Amendment was guarantees the rights of criminal defendants so that all criminal prosecutions are carried fairly. One of the criminal defendants' rights that it protects is to "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." This way, the Amendment avoids unnecessary delays and biased judges in the trial.
