The 6th amendment is generally thought of as the one guaranteeing a "fair trial", but actually it is a combination of the Fifth, Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments that fully guarantees it, because together they guarantee specific rights that are components of the trial process. The 5th amendment guarantees the right to be charged in an indictment, the right not to be tried twice for the same crime, the right not to be forced to incriminate one's self, nor be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process. It would be hardly "fair" for the government to have no witnesses but just put the defendant on the witness stand and force him to testify against himself. The 6th amendment is more to the point. It guarantees a right to speedy and public trial by an impartial jury, to be informed of the nature of the charges, to be confronted with the witnesses, to have compulsory process for getting witnesses and to have counsel. Note that there is no guarantee of a jury of 12 persons who are the peers of the defendant. Nor of unanimity of the verdict.
