Political Influence

The Gideon vs Florida case influences the political part because is supports the 6th ammendment. Which is having the right to a lawyer /attorney. The case stated that the court told Gideon he couldn't have a lawyer. When Gideon was placed in jail, he studied the 6th ammendment. and he learned that he wasn't suposed in jail, but he couldn't challenge his case until he completed his 5 years in jail. Thats what he did! When he was released, he challenged his case and won.
