To arrive at this answer, let's break down the options and examine each one:

B. The Sixth Amendment Fair Trial Clause: The Sixth Amendment explicitly guarantees the right to a fair trial. It states that "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."

C. The Fifth Amendment Just Hearing Clause: The Fifth Amendment protects various rights, including the right to due process. However, it does not specifically mention the right to a fair trial or a "just hearing" clause.

D. The Fifth Amendment Due Process Clause: The Fifth Amendment does guarantee the right to due process, which includes procedural fairness in legal proceedings. However, it does not explicitly mention the right to a fair trial.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. The right to a fair trial in federal cases stems from the Sixth Amendment Fair Trial Clause.
