<span>The Great Awakening is a period of religious awakening and reform that began in the 1800s. It was a spiritual renewal that swept the American Colonies, particularly New England. It sought to use the basis of religion to revive faith in members of the congregation and bring about social reforms. Its main ideas include: · The belief that every person could be saved through revivals · The belief that Christ would return to earth after the "millennium" and the purification of society in preparation for that return.</span>

Main ideas of the Second Great Awakening were:

  • The need for individuals to make a personal decision to follow Christ.
  • An emphasis on preparing for the imminent Second Coming of Christ and the judgment of mankind.
  • An emphasis on personal Bible reading and study of Christian truth.

Further details:

In the history of religious life in America, we refer to "the Second Great Awakening" when talking about the revival of energy in Protestantism that began as the year 1800 approached and continued into the 1820s. (The First Great Awakening had occurred some decades earlier, in the 1730s and 1740s.) The Second Great Awakening focused on each individual sinner coming to grips with their own unworthy condition before God and making a decision to give their lives over to the Lord in the name of Jesus Christ. They needed to be "born again," to experience personally a change of heart and move in the direction of Christ. This was needed to prepare for the Second Coming of Christ at the end of time.  The emphasis on personal salvation was a rejection of older Protestant concepts of predestination (the original Calvinist model). It also coincided with the mood in the country at the time that emphasized individualism and personal responsibility.

Along with outdoor revival meetings that were part of the Second Great Awakening, there was an emphasis on personal Bible reading and study. The American Bible Society was founded in 1816 as part of this movement, to make sure every Christian home had a Bible for reading and studying at home.  The American Tract Society was also established (1826) to distribute Christian literature that would teach Christian truths.

Following the 1963 Supreme Court decision in Gideon v. Wainright, all states began to provide legal representation to defendants
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

D. The right to a lawyer; it allows a defendant to always be able to defend themselves in a criminal case.

Explanation:

The famous Supreme Court case Gideon v. Wainright in 1963 was a case regarding a convict Clarence Earl Gideon, who had no legal representation and his pleas to be given a lawyer by the government. The ruling was in favor of Gideon and asked the state to provide a lawyer for the defendant.

According to the 14th Amendment of the US Constitution, every citizen has the right to equal protection under the law. And the 6th Amendment also states that criminal defendants have the right to get representation even if they cannot afford one. So, in respect to these two amendments, the<u> Gideon v. Wainright case touched both issues and thus, gave the defendant the right to be represented by a lawyer and also be given the chance to defend himself in any criminal case.</u>

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
