Explanation: The central issue in Gideon v. Wainwright was whether or not states were required to provide an attorney to defendants who could not afford one. The central issue in Miranda v. Arizona was whether or not law enforcement officers were required to inform suspects of their rights, including the right to remain silent and the right to legal counsel, before questioning them. Both cases dealt with the rights of individuals accused of crimes.
