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.

How would the potential German-Mexican alliance threaten the United States?
LuckyWell [14K]

On March 1, 1917, the American public learned about a German proposal to ally with Mexico if the United States entered the war. Months earlier, British intelligence had intercepted a secret message from German Foreign Minister Arthur Zimmermann to the Mexican government, inviting an alliance (along with Japan) that would recover the southwestern states Mexico lost to the U.S. during the Mexican War of 1846-47.

The secret to the British interception began years earlier. In 1914, with war imminent, the British had quickly dispatched a ship to cut Germany’s five trans-Atlantic cables and six underwater cables running between Britain and Germany. Soon after the war began, the British successfully tapped into overseas cable lines Germany borrowed from neutral countries to send communications. Britain began capturing large volumes of intelligence communications.

British code breakers worked to decrypt communication codes. In October of 1914, the Russian admiralty gave British Naval Intelligence (known as Room 40) a copy of the German naval codebook removed from a drowned German sailor’s body from the cruiser SMS Magdeburg. Room 40 also received a copy of the German diplomatic code, stolen from a German diplomat’s luggage in the Near East. By 1917, British Intelligence could decipher most German messages.
