The Sixth Amendment addresses the rights of criminal defendants, including the right to a speedy and public trial, an impartial jury, to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation, to be confronted with the witnesses against them, to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in their favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for their defense. It does not cover the grand jury system, double jeopardy, due process, or impressment of private property; these are addressed in other amendments (Fifth and Seventh Amendments for grand jury and double jeopardy, Fifth Amendment for due process, and the Third and Fourth Amendments concerning the quartering of soldiers and search and seizure, respectively).
