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

  1. First Amendment.

  2. Fourth Amendment.

  3. Sixth Amendment.

  4. Eighth Amendment.

The correct answer is: Sixth Amendment.

The Sixth Amendment guarantees the right to a fair and impartial trial. The First Amendment protects the right to free speech and religion, the Fourth Amendment protects against unreasonable searches and seizures, and the Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. While all of these are important rights protected by the Constitution, none of them specifically addresses the right to a fair and impartial trial. Therefore, options A, B, and D are incorrect.
