The Gideon vs Wainwright case to reinterpret the 6th amendment. This amendment deals with the concept of providing a lawyer for individuals who can’t afford one. In this Supreme Court case, it was ruled by a unanimous vote that states must provide individuals accused of criminal charges with a lawyer if they can not afford one.
