History
1 answer:
Tasya [4]3 years ago
3 0

The term "absolute despotism" refers to the actions of a government that is failing to protect the rights of citizens. This type of government is extremely controlling and does not consider the rights/needs of the individual. This is evident from the sentence that this phrase is used in, as the Declaration of Independence states that

"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism,..."

This line shows that this is a direct reference to the abuses of government power over their respective citizens.

Analyze the effect of the case of Gideon v. Wainwright on the American legal system.
jenyasd209 [6]
The Gideon v. Wainwright court case changed the legal system we know because it re-established the idea that those who cannot afford attorneys need to be provided one. The 6th amendment of the constitution says that individuals have a right to a jury trial as well as the right to an attorney. This case reassures that an attorney should be appointed regardless of what type of crime is committed.

The Supreme Court justices, who voted unanimously for Gideon, discussed how appointing an attorney to those who cannot afford one is part of creating a fair and equal justice system.
