Answer:

<h2>GIDEON V. WAINWRIGHT (1963) </h2>

Summary

Gideon v Wainwright (1963), a landmark Supreme Court case that under the Sixth Amendment requires states to provide counsel in criminal cases to any defendants unable to afford their own attorney. In 1961, Clarence Earl Gideon was charged with breaking and entering in a Florida poolroom and once in trial, asked the court to appoint him an attorney. Prior to the Supreme Court’s ruling, indigent defendants were not provided counsel unless charged of a capital offence. Given a 5 year prison sentence, Gideon felt unfairly treated by the courts and filed a writ of habeas corpus to the Florida Supreme Court, but was denied. Gideon then issued an appeal to the United States Supreme Court. In the unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled that Gideon’s trial was unconstitutional due to the lack of a defense attorney at his trial. The Court argued that the Sixth Amendment requires a state to provide a defense lawyer because lawyers are vital to a “fair trial.” The Supreme Court noted that federal government as well as the states are bound to Sixth Amendment, which ultimately lead to extending the right to counsel for indigent defendants. Therefore, the Court reasoned, its requirements could not turn on such a distinction. Therefore, the right to legal representation was acknowledged to be a right essential to due process in almost all cases.

In a major victory for indigent persons, the ruling created a precedent for future cases through the creation of the public defender system. The implementation of this system has been very beneficial for the indigent community, but it also has created many issues in regards to workload and representation for defenders. More than half of criminal cases are represented by public defenders and the caseload increases each year. Overcome with heavy workloads, public defenders does not possess the abundant amount of time that the client deserves to adequately review and prep for the trial. As a result, this issue forces many cases to reach plea deals.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

In my opinion, I would be for the U.S. expansion. With the expansion comes opportunities for new jobs, farming, new trading routes, and overall a chance at a new life. Although it is inaccurate to say that I would be in need of a job considering that I did not live at the same, I would assume that those in need of farm land and work would appreciate the movement. If I were a rich man living in the city during the time of expansion, I would still agree with the expansion. Because of the amount of people in search of a job in the city, the streets were crowded, work places were filled to the top, and people were desperate for work. The expansion allows for these people to move and find new work somewhere else that does not interfere with my work. However, we can not overlook the horrible things that came with this movement such as slavery, the deaths of many people, and the basic fact that it was unconstitutional. In perspective, this question could differ depending on the person. I would have been against the expansion if I were an Indian whose home was taken and whose family was being killed by the travelers.
