Period 2

Amendment 6 (2)

Predictions for next 10 years: Kyler- The 6th Amendment has not been changed too many times over the last 200 years and for this reason, I predict few changes in the next ten. However, there are some minor decisions that will need to be made in the near future. Depending on which way these decisions go, changes may have to occur. For example, recently President Bush gave the military the ability to legally hold suspected terrorists and give them a different set of rights than ordinary citizens. This change was successful in the fact that Bin Laden was caught. So, minor changes, such as that, may continue to occur in the next decade.

Cameron- I believe that the 6th amendment will not undergo many changes because the judicial system in America has not undergone any changes in recent history so i don’t see any need to change the amendment. The only recent change was the ability for suspected terrorists to be held without trial and be tried by a military tribunal. If terroristic actions persist and the need arises for trials by the military, then I think that this may be one of the many few changes to the amendment in the next ten years.

Drew- I feel in the next ten years there will be no big changes to the 6th amendment because it seems pretty fair to everybody that knows what the 6th amendment is and is there was a problem with it i think somebody with authority would change what was wrong. So my prediction is nothing major or nothing at all will be changed in the 6th amendment.
