Prior to the case of Gideon v. Wainwright, defendant Clarence Earl Gideon was charged with breaking and entering in the state of Florida. This crime is a felony according to Florida state law. Unable to pay for defense counsel, Gideon requested that the court grant him one for free. The court denied Gideon his request of being granted defense counsel. The court stated, “Under the laws of the State of Florida, the only time the Court can appoint Counsel to represent a Defendant is when that person charged with a capital offense.”
Gideon V. Wainwright The case starts with the arrest of Clarence Earl Gideon who was charged with breaking and entering with intent to commit a misdemeanor. Gideon was a runaway, having left home around eighth grade he became a drifter. He wandered around from place to place and spent time in and out of prison of prison for many non-violent crimes. He eventually found some part time work at a pool club, the same club room he was accused of breaking into and robbing.

To be denied of help when you're indigent is like taking a man’s soul away. Clarence Earl Gideon was far from a hero to the courts. In 1963 Gideon was charged with breaking and entering. It's puzzling to me that one was unable to help himself even if there was a crime being committed and the court system just brushed him off by denying him a court appointed attorney. What would be a misdemeanor in the state of Mississippi is considered a Felony in the state of Florida.
If someone doesn’t get to make their own choices, then their liberty is gone. Liberty is almost defined as the ability for one to make their own choices, and if that doesn’t happen, their is no liberty. Finally, on to pursuit of happiness. The pursuit of happiness is someone’s right to do and try to achieve what makes them happy, and not be forced to do some other job or thing by the government…….such as being forced to join the military without any other choice in the matter. The mandatory draft likely violates the rule the most.

To be honest I wouldn’t give up my freedom for increased security from terrorism. Benjamin Franklin stated, “They who would give up essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security.” I couldn’t have said it any better. We have been fighting for our rights for a very long time. Many people have died to ensure that people have liberties.
And it can be attained only by reaching the general will which is expressed by the sovereign that is owned by any particular individual which later will create the form of law. Moreover, he also stated that there is the difference between the general will and the “ will of all ”.The “ will of all ” is only the accumulation of every thing that the individual want. But the the general will aim at the common good which achieve what is best for all which is the way of making the decision that he suggests.
In this case the appellant appealed against a decision that she was not "the surviving spouse" of the deceased within the meaning of the Rent Act 1977 Sch.1 Pt I para.2 (1). However, the appeal was dismissed and it was held that he term "the surviving spouse" in Sch.1 Pt I para.2(1) had rather more formality about it than the term "a person who was living with the original tenant as his or her wife or husband" in Sch.1 Pt I para.2 (2)(a), and the case of Fitzpatrick v Sterling Housing Association Ltd and Ghaidan v Godin-Mendoza was
Freedom I believe once freedom has been won, it can be taken away. If you are being bad or not following the rules, than you should not have the rights to do what you want. Freedom has been given to you for a reason, and you need to use it for that reason. I believe it should be taken away because sometimes freedom shouldn’t always be “free.” You should be limited on what you get to do.
One freedom that everyone should have the right to is to see color, and wear whatever color they choose. Harm does not arise directly from personal appearance or adornment, therefore the right to make
Freedom is the right to do what you want, is right to live where you want, is right to choose the religion that you want and freedom is right to eat, learn, drink what you want. There is one thing that limits our freedom: someone else’s freedom. According to a Boğaziçi University student Arda Seyhan, “We can live free by respecting other people’s freedom. We are living in a community which we all need people around us, we can not just ignore other’s freedom and do what we want to do for our freedom.” We should consider other people's rights.
As you know, tax is not freedom. This is why tithing was not preached in the New Testament. In the New Testament, we operate in freedom. Freely we received and freely we give. People can freely pledge to give a certain amount or percentage of their earnings to GOD every month.
In 1787, our founding father’s agreed to write a list of principals for keeping people free. Freedom must be limited. People can not just say they are free. You can not just kill or violate just for freedom. There should be respect for people’s wants and needs.
