Answer 1

Rights of Accused in Criminal Prosecutions

Amendment Text:
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 the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence.

Answer 2

The sixth Amendment was designed to prevent interference with the Rights of States and their citizens; it is restrictive of the powers exercised by the federal government alone. Whether by Congress or by the judiciary, and is not a limitation upon the powers of the States. Reference: Barron use of Teirnan v. Baltimore [1833]; Fox v. Ohio [1847]; Davis v. Texas [1891];

The amendment is applicable to trials in the courts of the District of Columbia (reference: Callan v. Wilson [1888], holding unconstitutional a statute providing for trial of misdemeanors on information by the court alone, and even though it allowed a jury on appeal.)

The amendment is applicable to trials in the courts of the Territories (reference: Reynolds v. United States [1870],)

The amendment is applicable to trials in the courts of Alaska even before its organization as a territory (reference: Rassmussen v. United States [1905].)

The amendment is not applicable to trials in the courts of the Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands as those Islands having not been incorporated into the Union. (reference: Blazac v. Porto Rico [1922]; and, Fransis v. Virgin Islands [1926]).

The guarantee afforded by the Constitution for an impartial trial by jury, in a case of accusation of crime, “apply only to citizens and others within the United States, or who are brought there for trial for alleged offenses committed elsewhere, and not residents or temporary sojourners abroad,” The laws passed by Congress to carry into effect the various treaties granting extraterritorial rights are not constitutional in that they do not secure to an accused a trial by jury. (reference: Ross v. McIntyre [1891].
