Explanation:

Clarence Gideon was a poor man who couldn't afford a lawyer. In his burglary trial, the court refused to appoint one for him. So, he had to represent himself. This case later led to a significant Supreme Court decision (Gideon v. Wainwright) that established the right to counsel for defendants who can't afford one.

Answer:

represent himself
