Answer:
The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution grants us the right to a jury trial in criminal cases. The text of the Sixth Amendment states that "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." This amendment ensures that a defendant in a criminal case has the right to have their case heard by a jury of their peers, rather than being judged solely by a judge or other government official. The right to a jury trial is a fundamental protection of individual liberties and due process under the law.
