The law allows the six states affected by the language to keep Trump’s name off their primary and general election ballots in 2024. The states affected by this 1868 law are North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana and Florida.

The Sixth Amendment guarantees the rights of criminal defendants, including the right to a public trial without unnecessary delay, the right to a lawyer, the right to an impartial jury, and the right to know who your accusers are and the nature of the charges and evidence against you. It has been most visibly tested in a series of cases involving terrorism, but much more often figures in cases ...
These protections include:
the Sixth Amendment rightUnder Supreme Court case law, the Sixth Amendment right to counsel specifically requires that each and every adult who cannot afford to hire a lawyer at prevailing compensation rates in his jurisdiction must be given a qualified and trained lawyer.
The Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution not only guarantees criminal defendants the right to an attorney, but the right to "adequate representation." This is true whether the defendant is indigent and has a court-appointed lawyer, or if the defendant hired their own lawyer.
The Fifth Amendment creates a number of rights relevant to both criminal and civil legal proceedings. In criminal cases, the Fifth Amendment guarantees the right to a grand jury, forbids “double jeopardy,” and protects against self-incrimination.
An individual can only invoke the Fifth Amendment in response to a communication that is compelled, such as through a subpoena or other legal process. The communication must also be testimonial in nature. In other words, it must relate to either express or implied assertions of fact or belief.

A unanimous Supreme Court said that state courts were required under the 14th Amendment to provide counsel in criminal cases to represent defendants who are unable to afford to pay their own attorneys, guaranteeing the Sixth Amendment’s similar federal guarantees.
Prior to 1962, indigent Americans were not always guaranteed access to legal counsel despite the Sixth Amendment. Clarence Earl Gideon, a Florida resident, was charged in Florida state court for breaking and entering into a poolroom with the intent to commit a crime.
Due to his poverty, Gideon asked the Florida court to appoint an attorney for him. The court declined to do this and pointed to state law which said that the only time indigent defendants could be appointed an attorney was when charged with a capital offense.
The Gideon decision touched on three amendments—the Sixth Amendment, the 14 th Amendment and the Fifth Amendment.
The Court agreed, and future Supreme Court Justice Abe Fortas was assigned to represent Gideon.
It was on this day in 1963 that the Supreme Court handed down the Gideon decision, which guaranteed the rights of the accused to have a public defender in court. In Gideon v.
The 6th amendment of the constitution gives the defendant the right “to assistance of counsel in his defence.”

The 17th amendment which allowed the popular election of senators. It changed the meaning and the job of the Senate. The whole reason for the Senate was to represent the individual states in the federal government we already had a body that represented the people it is called the House of Representatives their job is to represent the people the Senate's job was to represent the states the 17th amendment changed the definition of that job. Just like the president's job is to represent all 50 states as a nation and we have a lot of people that want to do away with the electoral college which would change the presidency from being the leader of the 50 states combined meaning the whole nation to being a representative because that is what the president would become no longer the leader of the nation no longer the head of government but the president would be simply a representative.
