Earl Gideon was arrested for burglary after an unknown person broke a door, smashed a cigarette machine and a record player, and stole money from a cash register. A witness reported seeing Earl around 5:30, so he was arrested based on that accusation. Gideon did not have money to hire a lawyer, so he asked the judge to appoint one for him. The judge denied his request. Gideon had no choice but to represent himself. He wasn't really sure what he was doing, so he was found guilty. Which constitutional PROTECTION relates to this case?

Which constitutional AMENDMENT contains that protection?
