Trial by jury is guaranteed by the first amendment.
6th amendment
The Sixth Amendmentpeople are mistaken in assuming that they have a right to a trial by a jury of their peers -- they have a right to a fair and unbiased jury from their community. [Court TV - The Vang Case]
Although people generally BELIEVE this is in the Constitution of the US, it does not say specifically that you are entitled to a trial by "a jury of your peers."What it DOES say (in the Sixth Amendment) is that you are guaranteed the right to "a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed."
Please tell me a bit more about the question you want answered. Perhaps you are looking for the text of of the 6th Amendment which guarantees "... a speedy and public trial by an impartial jury ..." The Constitution does not specifically promise a trial by jury consisting of the defendant's peers, but does oblige the legal system to do all it can to make sure the jury has no prejudice against the accused.
