Answer 1

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Since the conclusion of the Gideon v. Wainwright in 1963, it was determined by the Supreme Court that states are required to provide a defense attorney for those who do not have the ability to pay for one, even if the defendant has been charged with a serious crime. This rule became a constitutional rule and must be complied with in all states of the country.
