Miranda v. Arizona (1966) established the importance of informing defendants of their legal rights before they are arrested in order to ensure due process.
The Miranda vs. Arizona case was significant because it established that many Americans did/do not know their rights granted to them by the Bill of Rights (the first ten amendments, although only the first eight are triable), especially those pertaining to police investigation and trial, and that when arrested people have the right to be informed of these very significant rights.
The Court decided a confession is involuntary unless the person is clearly informed of his or her right to remain silent, to have an attorney present during questioning, and have an attorney provided free if he cant afford one. Miranda didn't have a lawyer present when questioned and wasn't aware this was an option; therefore, his confession was excluded from evidence and the conviction was overturned.
