Question Of The Week, 12/11/05
Good morning. Before I ask this weeks question I want to remind everyone, Bill Of Rights Day is just four days away. I hope everyone will take a little time to think about our Founding Fathers and the First Ten Amendments to the United States Constitution this Thursday, December, the 15th. This weeks Question Of The Week is. What is the meaning of the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution? "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the assistance of counsel for his defense." I'll post my answer in the Comment Section Monday night.
God Bless America, God Save The Republic.
God Bless America, God Save The Republic.

I agree with the lionhearted liberal on this one.
The sixth amendment was added to stop the government from holding you without a trial kind of like what is happening now with the terrorist suspects.
I want to thank you for taking the time to answer this weeks question.This one hasn't been messed with like some of the Amendments.It is easy to understand,if you brake the law you won't be held in jail form a long time before you go to court.You and your attorney (who will be appointed to you if you can't afford one)can even take part in the jury selection.You won't be taken to a different part of the country for your trial. Your attorney can question witnesses that are against you and you can bring witnesses for your defense into the court. The count down continues, Bill Of Rights Day is only two days away. God Bless America, God Save The Republic
