The government cannot just take land or any property from you because it is going to be used for a government building, highway, etc. You have to be paid fairly for that property. People have the right to legal counsel. People have the right to confront their accusers. Without the right to a speedy trial, a person could be locked up for a very long time without ever even hearing the charges against him.
Legal counsel means a lawyer.
Everyone has the right to have a lawyer, even if they can't afford one. The government has to provide one to help defend poor people accused of a serious crime. Everyone has the right to know who is accusing them of a crime. People have the right to a jury trial in most civil suits. If a person is involved in a civil case, like an accident claim, they can choose to have a jury make the decision rather than depend on the judge's decision alone.
