Answer:

The correct answer is 2) A right to an appeal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Constitution of the United States declares in the sixth amendment that in criminal proceedings the defendant is entitled to a rapid and public trial by an impartial jury of the state where the crime was committed, also, they will have the right to a lawyer for their defense and to present witnesses.

On the other hand, the right to an appeal is not guaranteed in the declaration of rights; the appeal is carried out after the resolution of a case in which the party that requires the appeal does not agree with the decision, and makes the appeal, the judge or the court of justice will decide if they accept, after reviewing the sentence and evidence.

Therefore, the appeal can not be taken as a right, since a right must be granted to all persons such as the right to a lawyer; instead, in the appeal a judge or court decides if they give the right to appeal.

I hope this information can help you.
