Sixth+Amendment+Part+5+-+703

//Sixth Amendment Part 5 by Maryam and Carla   The original Sixth Amendment says, "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to have the Assistance of Counsel (lawyer) for his defence."

In my own words this says that criminals have the right to have a lawyer.

The Creation of the Bill of Rights: In Philadelphia in 1788,the Founding Fathers were trying to pass the Constitution. The Federalists and the Anti-Federalists formed to debate the Constitution. The Anti-Federalists thought it gave too much power to the national government and was going to harm the citizens and they proposed a Bill of Rights to be added to the Constitution.They had to pass the Bill of Rights to get the Constitution passed. The states needed to compromise. // //The Importance of the Bill of Rights:// //The Bill of Rights and the 6 amendment are important now because people go to jail for no reason without this amendment. // // Our Bill of Rights:  1) Everyone should have the right to learn.  2) Everyone should have the right to go anywhere they want. 3) Everyone has the right to live anywhere they want. 4) Everyone has the right to become whatever they want. 5) Everyone has the right to be with whomever they want to be with. 6) Everyone has the right to live their life. 7) Everyone has the right to love who they want. 8) Everyone has the right to eat whatever they want. 9) Everyone has the right to read. 10) Everyone has the right to have fun.     //
