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

  1. First Amendment.

  2. Fourth Amendment.

  3. Sixth Amendment.

  4. Seventh Amendment.

The correct answer is: Sixth Amendment.

The First and Fourth Amendments protect freedom of speech and religion, and the right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures, respectively.

The Sixth Amendment is the correct answer as it explicitly guarantees the right to a trial by jury in criminal cases.
