Which right of a defendant is at issue in Giden v Wainwright?

History

Answer:

Right to an attorney

Explanation:

This case was to determine if everyone has equal rights in the court of law, specifically the right to be awarded a counsel if not able to afford one.  Clarence Earl Gideon, a drifter was arrested for breaking and entering and petty larceny. Clarence couldn't afford a counsel and was not appointed one, so he had to  defend himself and subsequently lost. He had to serve 5 years in jail,  Gideon argued in his appeal that he had been denied counsel and, therefore, his Sixth Amendment rights, as applied to the states by the Fourteenth Amendment, had been violated. The decision was announced as being unanimous in favor of Gideon, saying  “if desired by a defendant who could not afford to hire counsel, was a fundamental right under the United States Constitution, binding on the states, and essential for a fair trial and due process of law regardless of the circumstances of the case.”

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

If I had the power to add one amendment to the US constitution, it would be to give <em><u>basic labor rights.</u></em>

Explanation:

While the constitution talks out basic human rights, freedom of speech and even the right to bear arms, it does not provide any framework on how to manage an effective and healthy workforce fairly.

Some key points would be added e.g the right to a fair minimum wage,  the right to health insurance, a work week of no more than 40 hours etc.

While it may have not been important in a society that was largely agricultural, in today's post-industrialization world, this is very important.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

People who oppose the War on Drugs argue that drug offenders should not be incarcerated because most of them are not violent criminals, and being a drug addict should not be considered a crime but a disease, and correspondingly, should be treated by medical professionals.

Unfair incarceration of drug offenders contributes to the break up of families, specially in low-income areas, and this phenomenon as a whole affects society. Children born in households with incarcerated parents are more likely to be poor, to become addicts themselves, or to commit crimes in the future.
