The answer is B. States establish public defenders' offices to represent defendants who can't afford lawyers.

The answer is B. In the Miranda Rights that was set up by the Supreme Court you’re entitled to legal representation in court and it’s up to the states to establish a public defender’s office since cases are heard in courts that are either city or state. Gideon’s case set a precedence for future case law...his case sets the standard for when this particular situation arises and it cannot be contested.
