next to each statement below, write down if you think it relates to gideon v. wainwright,
fare v. michael c. or both:
\the constitution requires states to provide attorneys to poor defendants in criminal
cases.\:
the right to counsel is a fundamental right essential to justice:
__________________________
an adult with an eighth - grade education was forced to defend himself in
court:__________________________
the case expanded the sixth amendment protections to all felony
defendants:__________________________

Explanation:

• In Gideon v. Wainwright, the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution requires states to provide attorneys to poor defendants in criminal cases. It also held that the right to counsel is a fundamental right essential to justice. The case involved an adult (Gideon) with a limited education (not explicitly eighth - grade in the case details, but similar in the sense of being a non - lawyer without legal training) who was forced to defend himself in court. And it expanded the Sixth Amendment protections (right to counsel) to all felony defendants.
• Fare v. Michael C. is about the rights of juveniles during police interrogations and not related to the statements about providing attorneys to poor defendants in criminal cases, the right to counsel as a fundamental right for justice, a non - lawyer defendant, or expanding Sixth Amendment rights for felony defendants.

• "The right to counsel is a fundamental right essential to justice": Gideon v. Wainwright
• "An adult with an eighth - grade education was forced to defend himself in court": Gideon v. Wainwright
