AP US Government
Unit 3 – Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
Topic 3.6
What is a key difference between the Sixth Amendment's Right to Counsel provision compared with Legal Representation under Fifth Amendment?
The Sixth amendment guarantees defendants assistance of counsel in criminal prosecutions while Fifth amendment provides right to counsel during custodial interrogation.
While both amendments ensure legal representation, only Sixth stipulates public funding for this purpose if required.
Both amendments assure defendants will have access to legal representation at trial regardless their financial status.
The Sixth amendment addresses civil cases while Fifth amendment focuses on criminal cases.
