The sixth amendment deals with the rights of the accused.  You must be provided with a speedy and public trial (If desired) and a jury from where the crime was committed.  You must be informed of the crime you are being tried for.  You can see and confront your accuser and any witnesses.  You can force people to testify in your defense.  And you can, if you want, have a defense counsel.
