6th Amendment

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and caused of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence. 

This amendment relates to me because if i do ever get in trouble with the law I get benefits that I probably wouldn't receive if our nation didn't have this amendment. Specially the right to a lawyer if you aren't able to get one, because Lord know I wouldn't be able to represent myself, so it would be better to have someone on my side that at least understands the criminal system better. 

This represents the 6th amendment because it shows that if you have an impartial jury you are being set up to be convicted, which is not fair, and everybody deserves a fair trial. (poor dog) 

This one also shows a trial by jury not being fair and biased.
