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

First Amendment.
Fourth Amendment.
Sixth Amendment.
Eighth Amendment.

The correct answer is: Sixth Amendment.

The other options are incorrect because A: The First Amendment guarantees the freedom of speech, religion, and press. B: The Fourth Amendment guarantees protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. D: The Eighth Amendment prohibits cruel and unusual punishment. The Sixth Amendment, on the other hand, specifically guarantees the right to a fair and impartial trial by an impartial jury for criminal cases. It also guarantees the right to legal representation and the right to confront witnesses.
