In gideon v. wainwright, the u. s. supreme court ruled that florida violated which of clarence earl gideon's constitutional rights?
a. first amendment right to free speech
b. fourth amendment right against illegal search

d. eleventh amendment right to sue the state

In order to help the student expand his/her knowledge I will help answer the question. This in hope that the student will get a piece of knowledge that will help him/her through his/her homework or future tests.

The U.S Supreme court ruled that Florida violated the Sixth Amendment of Clarence Earl Gideon’s constitutional rights. He was denied for his request of a lawyer and was left to represent himself. This did not turn out great and was found guilty of breaking and entering the Bay Harbor Pool Room. The correct choice it the letter

C. Sixth Amendment right to counsel

I hope it helps, Regards.
