The "time bombs" being experienced
were the risk of chaos as there was no central power with the federal
government and states could have broken to their own. Because of the
decentralization of power it was very difficult to collect taxes
and keep the government going smoothly, the trade was difficult between various
states and all of these were real threats at that time.
The renaissance gave way to enlightenment and rebirth. This period of time allowed the modern era to break off from its past medieval era. The renaissance allowed Europe to rise up and be what it is today.
The Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution is the one that establishes rights that are related to criminal prosecutions. This amendment belongs to the Bill of Rights proposed by James Madison.
One of the central ideas of the amendment is that individual freedoms are protected in more ways than those contained in the Constitution and in amendments I-V. For example, the amendment promises the right to a speedy and public trial for the accused. It also mandates an impartial jury of the State and an Assistance of Counsel for the defence of the accused. All of these factors contribute to making trials fairer and more just. They also extend individual rights beyond those previously mentioned in the Bill of Rights.
