<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The Sixth Amendment guarantees the accused notice of the accusation, a court and witnesses for the defense. Something we take for granted today. But in writing the Sixth Amendment the drafters of the Bill of Rights were drawing on their knowledge of history and politics from ancient times, through the development of English common law, and its application in the British colonies. In this book you will find what that history was, who the actors in it were, and how our brilliant Founders used that knowledge to underpin their work. This lively account is written for the interested citizen, as well as the civics student. Along the way there are surprising, and interesting, discursions into how the events and personalities surrounding the Sixth Amendment have appeared in literature, film, sports and popular culture. The book is part of a collection chronicling the origins, history, and interpretation, of the first ten Amendments to the Constitution - the Bill of Rights.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>The Sixth Amendment guarantees the accused notice of the accusation, a court and witnesses for the defense.</b> Something we take for granted today.

The illustrations and manner in which history is presented makes the information easy to read and understand. ...[A] go-to when I want to fact check what a politician is saying about the Framers. History lovers and non-history lovers will love it!"--Amazon.com reviewer<br><br>"A great book that appeals to all ages interested in an unbiased history of our country's founding fathers and their objectives. It has great coverage of famous British cases, whose outcome was abhorred by the American colonists and who, as a result, insisted that the constitution provided express safeguards prohibiting similar violations of individual rights in America."--Richard Coffinger "Attorney-at-Law "<br><br>"Encyclopedic in its scope and presentation of the story behind the enactment of the Bill of Rights. From start to finish, Bob McWhirter shows himself to be an excellent guide for an enjoyable journey into the past."--George T Anagnost "Arizona Attorney magazine "<br>
