Which amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees the right to a trial by jury in criminal cases?

First Amendment.

Fourth Amendment.

Sixth Amendment.

The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a trial by jury in criminal cases. The First Amendment primarily protects freedom of speech, religion, and press. The Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. The Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. Therefore, these options are incorrect because they do not pertain to the right to a trial by jury in criminal cases. Additionally, the context of the Sixth Amendment, which deals with legal rights and criminal proceedings, narrows down the options and makes it the most appropriate choice.
