Explanation:

In Duncan v. Louisiana (1968), the Supreme Court held that the right to a jury trial under the Sixth Amendment applies to state courts through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This means that citizens have the right to a jury trial in cases involving sentences of six months or more. The Court overturned Duncan's conviction because he was denied a jury trial.
