b. Second
c. First
d. Sixth

Answer 1

The answer is D, the Sixth Amendment. This Amendment gives the right to confront witnesses against an accused to the defendant (Accused) during criminal prosecution. This allows for due process and a more fair trial. The goal is to allow the accused to properly defend him or herself during the entire course of the criminal prosecution and to act as a safeguard against the admittance of dishonest witnesses and/or witnesses. An example of this is the process of cross-examination during criminal trials wherein the accused is given the right to question or re-examine a witness after their direct examination in court by the prosecutor. During the cross-examination, the accused's lawyer may question the witness to show any holes in the credibility or truth of the witnesses' testimony.
