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.”

Which late 1940s event prompted the United States to take steps to protect itself from Soviet espionage? the detonation of a bom

Answer:

the detonation of a bomb on Russian soil.

In 1949, the Americans were astonished to see that the U.S.S.R. had detonated their own atomic bomb (as a test) on their grounds. It had been only 4 years since the detonation of the atomic bombs of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and they considered it could not be sufficient time to develop the atomic bomb by themselves. Suspicion of espionage was their main option. Time proved them right. Nearly a dozen Soviet spies were convicted of passing information to the Soviets during this period about the atomic bomb in what was called the "Manhattan Project", the most famous spy being Emil Julius Klaus Fuchs. After this experience, the United States began to invest a large quantity of money in protecting their secret projects and fighting espionage.

ANSWER

Dear George my closest brother,

you may not feel the same but as a young man living in the north, in April of 1861 i would be willing to die for what i believe because, just like Ulysses S. Grant, having the courage to help free slaves and give black men the right to vote, i want to have the courage to help my country, live to be a free state, and if that means fighting and more likely dying for everyone i am willing to do that. i would rather have a peaceful talk or argument instead of a war but some things dont go as planned. so my brother if i die in this war, i wish the best for you and hope you will make the right choices.

Explanation:

this isnt much but i hope this helps you.
