False. the right to counsel is guaranteed in the sixth amendment.

Public prosecutors are public authorities who, on behalf of society and in the public interest, ensure the application of the law where the breach of the law carries a criminal sanction, taking into account both the rights of the individual and the necessary effectiveness of the criminal justice system.

plea bargaining was used by the judges to encourage confessions. With the evolution of criminal justice system, plea bargaining is now used for the faster disposal of criminal cases and to lessen the burden on the courts
