represent himself
flee the state
remain silent

Explanation:

Clarence Gideon was a poor man who couldn't afford a lawyer for his burglary trial. At that time, the state didn't provide lawyers for defendants who couldn't pay. So, he had to represent himself. This case later led to the Supreme Court's decision in Gideon v. Wainwright (1963), which established that states must provide counsel to indigent defendants in criminal cases.

Answer:

represent himself
