i'm studying for a test coming up and was wondering if anyone can help me with a few of the sample questions it gave me. theres alot of them..i just need help on 5 of them....
1)1. In a single sentence, summarize the rule of law in the Gideon v. Wainwright case as it was decided by the United States Supreme Court.
2)State how the U.S. Supreme Court opinion in the Scott v. Illinois case changed the rule of law stated in the Gideon opinion.
3)Gideon argued that under the double jeopardy provision he could not be tried again after the U.S. Supreme Court had ruled in his favor. Why was he incorrect?
4)Four of the U.S. Supreme Court justices who decided the Argersinger v. Hamlin case also decided Gideon v. Wainwright. Name two of the four justices who heard both cases.
5)First, name the United States Supreme Court justice who wrote the decision for the Court in the Gideon case. Second, what was his role in the Betts decision?

Gideon:
The petitioner brought habeas corpus proceedings against the Director of the Division of Corrections. The Florida Supreme Court, 135 So.2d 746, denied all relief, and the petitioner brought certiorari. The United States Supreme Court, Mr. Justice Black, held that the Sixth Amendment to the federal Constitution providing that in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy right to assistance of counsel for his defense is made obligatory on the states by the Fourteenth Amendment, and that an indigent defendant in a criminal prosecution in a state court has the right to have counsel appointed for him.
Judgment reversed and cause remanded to Florida Supreme Court for further action.

I won't provide your answers. If you wish to email me and provide YOUR answers, I will critique them, and add some comments. Constitutional law is an interesting and exacting study. Did you bother to actually READ the case? if you did, you should be able to do this question. Also, review your notes. Your professor should have discussed these answers and/or reviewed the concepts.
