“Governments, Both State and Federal, Quite Properly Spend Vast Sums

question 22

Multiple Choice

“Governments, both state and federal, quite properly spend vast sums of money to establish machinery to try defendants accused of crime…. That government hires lawyers to prosecute and defendants who have the money hire lawyers to defend are the strongest indications of the widespread belief that lawyers in criminal courts are necessities, not luxuries. The right of one charged with crime to counsel may not be deemed fundamental and essential to fair trials in some countries, but it is in ours. From the very beginning, our state and national constitutions and laws have laid great emphasis on procedural and substantive safeguards designed to assure fair trials before impartial tribunals in which every defendant stands equal before the law. This noble ideal cannot be realized if the poor man charged with crime has to face his accusers without a lawyer to assist him.”
--Justice Hugo Black, Gideon v. Wainwright, 1963
-Which of the following did the Supreme Court asserted in Gideon v.Wainwright?
