Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Sixth Amendment guarantees certain rights to individuals accused of crimes, including the right to a speedy and public trial, the right to an impartial jury, the right to be informed of the charges against them, the right to confront witnesses, the right to compulsory process for obtaining witnesses, and the right to assistance of counsel. However, these protections only apply once criminal prosecution has been initiated. Prior to that point, an individual may have other constitutional or legal rights, but the Sixth Amendment does not yet come into play.
