The correct answer is the right to a speedy trial.

The 6th amendment of the US Constitution guarantees this right for multiple reasons. For one, it ensures that all individuals have the ability to have their cases heard relatively soon after the accussation occured. Another reason for this amendment was to create a judicial process that is as accurate as possible. The greater distance between an arrest and a trial can result in misinformation, especially from eye witnesses.
