Question

A woman accuses a local community leader of stealing from her. She is afraid of the backlash from people who are loyal to the suspected thief, but in order to bring the case to court, she is forced to reveal her identity.
What part of the Bill of Rights is the basis for this decision?

A. The Seventh Amendment's requirement that those who are accused of a crime have the right to a trial by jury
B. The Sixth Amendment's declaration that people accused of a crime have the right to know who their accusers are
C. The First Amendment's guarantee that even those who are accused of a crime still have freedom of expression
D. The Fourth Amendment's prohibition against unlawful search and seizure

Answer 1

The answer would be A: The Sixth Amendment. This is evident by the Seventh Amendment stating that it is constitutionally necessary for those of who are accused to have the right to know who they are being accused by. Even though the woman does not wish to come out as the accuser for this figure who appears popular, she must do so in respect for the man being accused to know for the trial be more fair for both parties.
