The Sixth Amendment: Rights of the Accused

The video discusses the Bill of Rights, focusing on the 6th Amendment's right to counsel. Initially, these rights applied only to federal cases, but the 14th Amendment extended some rights to states. The landmark case Gideon v. Wainwright expanded the right to an attorney to all state felony cases. The video also covers the Miranda v. Arizona case, which established the Miranda Warning, ensuring the right to an attorney during interrogations and protecting against self-incrimination under the 5th Amendment.
