Gideon v. Wainwright was a civil liberties case. The Supreme Court ruled in this landmark case in 1963 that the Sixth Amendment's right to counsel applies to state criminal proceedings through the Fourteenth Amendment's Due Process Clause. This decision significantly expanded the constitutional protections afforded to individuals accused of crimes, ensuring they have the right to legal representation regardless of their ability to pay.

Wainwright, which established the right to counsel for criminal defendants; and Miranda v. Arizona, which required police to inform suspects of their rights. These rulings significantly expanded the protection of individual rights and freedoms.
