Awoman accuses a local community leader of stealing from her. she is afraid of the backlash from people who are loyal to the suspected thief, but in order to bring the case to court, she is forced to reveal her identity. what part of the bill of rights is the basis for this decision?

a. the first amendment's guarantee that even those who are accused of a crime still have freedom of expression
b. the seventh amendment's requirement that those who are accused of a crime have the right to a trial by jury
c. the sixth amendment's declaration that people accused of a crime have the right to know who their accusers are
d. the fourth amendment's prohibition against unlawful search and seizure

The answer is "C. The Sixth Amendment's declaration that people accused of a crime have the right to know who their accusers are."

The first 10 amendments to the Constitution make up the Bill of Rights.  

Federalists contended that the Constitution did not require a bill of rights, in light of the fact that the general population and the states kept any forces not given to the government.  

The Sixth Amendment gives that a man blamed for a crime has the privilege to stand up to an observer against him or her in a criminal activity. This incorporates the privilege to be available at the preliminary (which is ensured by the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 43). And in addition the privilege to question the arraignment's observers.
