Answer to Question 1

Right to a speedy trial: The Sixth Amendment guarantees a defendant the right to a speedy trial.

Right to be free from double jeopardy: The Fifth Amendment provides that a defendant cannot be prosecuted by a jurisdiction more than once for a single offense. Right to legal counsel: The Sixth Amendment provides the right to be represented by an attorney in criminal trials even if indigent.

Right to confront witnesses: The accused has the right to confront witnesses to challenge their assertions and perceptions; in cases of child witnesses, they can testify via closed-circuit television as long as safeguards have been set up to protect the defendant's rights.
