Question

(HC) The quote below comes from the Supreme Court ruling in 1963:

The right of one charged with crime to counsel may not be deemed fundamental and essential to fair trials in some countries, but it is in ours. From the very
beginning, our state and national constitutions and laws have laid great emphasis on procedural and substantive safeguards designed to assure fair trials
before impartial tribunals in which every defendant stands equal before the law.

Based on the quote, this ruling strengthened protections for which guarantee in the Bill of Rights?
O "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to ... have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence."
O "No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury."
O "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be
violated."
O "[The accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been
committed."

Answer 2

Answer: "In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to ... have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence."

Step-by-step explanation:

The Supreme Court in this instance is saying that the right to a legal counsel is a fundamental aspect of the trial process in the United States even if this is not the case in other countries.

The Supreme Court is therefore saying that in all criminal prosecutions, regardless of the heinousness of the crime committed by the accused, they must always have the right to a counsel as this is the only way to ensure a fair trial.
