Betts v. Brady (1942)
In 1941, Smith Betts was arrested for robbery in the state of Maryland. Unable to afford a lawyer, he was denied a public defender by a judge and forced to represent himself. He was found guilty and given an eight-year sentence.
In the ensuing case, Benis v. Brady (1942), the Supreme Court ruled against Mr. Betts, who claimed his constitutional right to a fair trial was denied. In a 6-3 decision, the Court held that the right to counsel applied to only criminal cases in federal courts and that he did not have a right to counsel in a state court, except in death penalty cases.
Justice Black, in his dissenting opinion, reasoned, "This case can be determined by a resolution of a narrower question: whether, in view of the nature of the offense and the circumstances of his trial and conviction, this petitioner was denied the procedural protection which is his right under the federal Constitution. I think he was."
A. Identify the constitutional amendment in the Bill of Rights that is common to both Gideon v. Wainwright (1963) and Betrs v. Brady (1942).

C. Explain how the decision in Beus v. Brady demonstrates the principle or federalism, 1β
