Which amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to a fair and impartial trial?

First Amendment.

Fourth Amendment.

Sixth Amendment.

The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to a fair and impartial trial. This amendment specifically states that individuals have the right to a speedy and public trial, an impartial jury, the right to confront witnesses, and the right to legal counsel. The other options, First, Fourth, and Eighth Amendments, do not specifically address the right to a fair and impartial trial. The First Amendment guarantees freedom of speech, religion, and the press; the Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures; and the Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. While these amendments are important in their own right, they do not pertain to the right to a fair and impartial trial.
