The correct answer is A) Criminal suspects are able to receive legal representation in court.

In the Gideon v. Wainwright case in 1963 was about Clarence Earl Gideon that was charged with a felony for burglarizing a pool hall. He requested a court-appointed attorney but it was denied, so he was unable to defend himself and was sentenced to five years in prison.

In this case, the Supreme Court decided that states should prove legal counsel to indigent defendants charged with a felony.  The denial of an attorney violated the 14th Amendment which guarantees the due process.

What was the significance of the Townshend Acts of 1767?
yanalaym [24]
The Revenue Act of 1767, also referred to as the Townshend Duties, taxed glass, lead, paint, paper, and tea coming into the Anglo-American colonies. That year, wealthy landowners in Britain had used their political influence to cut their taxes by a fourth, causing a massive deficit in the British treasury. Chancellor Charles Townshend made up for this deficit via the Revenue Act.

In reality, the duties brought in very little revenue, with the exception of the taxes on tea. All they really did was provoke the colonists. Assemblies all over the colonies denounced the Act, calling for its repeal. Yet another boycott of British goods was enacted, which motivated merchants in Britain to push for the repeal of the Act as well. All this tension led to violence in the colonies, culminating in the Boston Massacre in March 1770. Parliament relented and repealed most of the Townshend Duties.

Why did Britain demand a change to its trade agreements with China during the age of imperialism?
Elanso [62]
Because Britain wanted to expand its manufactured goods market. In the eighteenth century, Britain traded English wool and Indian cotton for Chinese tea and textiles; however, when the Chinese demand weakened, Britain demanded other means of attracting trade with China. Britain realized it could make up the trade deficit with China by selling Indian opium into the Chinese market, making opium the most profitable and popular crop in world markets.

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

At that point, Danae was childless, and to keep the prophecy from coming true, Acrisius locked her in a tower. However, Zeus had seen Danae and had grown fond of her; so, during the night, he appeared to her in the form of golden rain and impregnated her. She gave birth to a baby, which she named Perseus.
