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.

How much time elapsed between the louisiana purchase and the gadsden purchase?
Anettt [7]
Louisiana Purchase happened in 1803, specifically, July 04, 1803.  (but the celebration of July 4 remembers this day in 1776, not 1803)

Gadsden Purchase - December 30, 1853. 

The difference is a round 50 years, and more specifically 50 years, 5 months and 26 days!

Why are third party important in a political system?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

Third parties also serve an important role in our political system by forcing major political parties to address new issues they might not have previously addressed very much. And third party candidates can also greatly impact an election by taking away votes from one of the major political party candidates.
