SynopsisThe Sixth amendment, termed the "Fair Trial" amendment, interposes a shield between the individual accused of criminal behavior and the state. Readers will learn that although the sanctity of the eight enunciated rights has never been questioned, their definition has dramatically shifted as philosophically different Supreme Courts have grappled to balance competing civil and societal rights., The Sixth amendment, termed the "Fair Trial" amendment, interposes a shield between the individual accused of criminal behavior and the state. Although the sanctity of the eight enunciated rights has never been questioned, their definition has dramatically shifted as philosophically different Supreme Courts have grappled to balance competing civil and societal rights., The Bill of Rights series highlights the living and breathing document. Each anthology focuses on one civil right guaranteed by the amendments and traces its evolution throughout American history to the present. Primary documents -- including landmark Supreme Court rulings -- reveal the ongoing effort to define the exact meaning of the text and apply its abstract concepts to real-world cases. Secondary sources, including magazine articles and book excerpts, add an additional layer of analysis and commentary. Taken together, the volumes of The Bill of Rights series illuminate the defining ideals of American democracy.
