To provide an accurate answer to the question "Which Constitutional Amendment formed the basis for this Court's decision?" I would need additional context regarding the specific court case or decision being referenced. The United States Constitution contains numerous amendments, and different court decisions may be based on different amendments depending on the legal issue at hand.

For example, if the court's decision was related to issues of free speech or press, it might be based on the First Amendment. If the decision pertained to the rights of criminal defendants, it could be based on the Fifth Amendment (which includes protection against self-incrimination and guarantees due process) or the Sixth Amendment (which guarantees the right to a fair trial). If the decision involved voting rights, it might be based on the Fifteenth Amendment (which prohibits the denial of the right to vote based on race), the Nineteenth Amendment (which prohibits the denial of the right to vote based on sex), or the Twenty-Sixth Amendment (which sets the voting age at 18).

Without specific information about the court case or the legal issues involved, it is not possible to determine which constitutional amendment formed the basis for the court's decision. If you can provide more details about the case, I would be able to give a more precise answer.

To provide an accurate answer to the question "What is the name of the attorney who represented Briggs?" I would need additional context regarding the specific case or situation you are referring to. The name "Briggs" could be associated with multiple cases, and without more information, it is not possible to determine which attorney represented a person or entity named Briggs.

If you can provide more details such as the jurisdiction, the nature of the case, the year, or any other relevant information, I may be able to give you a more precise answer. Otherwise, I recommend checking the specific legal case documents, news articles, or court records that pertain to the case you are interested in to find the name of the attorney who represented Briggs.

Yes, Clarence Earl Gideon did have an attorney in his second trial. After the landmark decision in Gideon v. Wainwright (1963), where the Supreme Court ruled that states are required under the Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution to provide counsel in criminal cases for defendants unable to afford their own attorneys, Gideon was granted a new trial.

In his second trial, Gideon was defended by W. Fred Turner, an attorney appointed by the court. The state of Florida paid for Gideon's defense, as mandated by the Supreme Court's decision that extended the right to counsel to all criminal defendants in state courts at the state's expense. Turner's defense was successful, and Gideon was acquitted of the charges.
