In Argersinger v Hamlin, 407 US 25 (1972) the Court extended the right to court-appointed counsel for any defendant facing jail time, even if the defendant was being charged with a misdemeanor. In previous cases the defendant was only allowed appointed counsel if charged with a felony. This case made sure any defendant facing any loss of liberty had the right to appointed counsel.
