How did the Supreme Courts position on the rights of the accused in state courts change in the 1960s?

In the 1960s, the Supreme Court significantly expanded the rights of the accused in state courts through a series of landmark decisions. Notably, in Gideon v. Wainwright (1963), the Court ruled that states are required to provide counsel to defendants who cannot afford an attorney, thereby reinforcing the right to fair legal representation. Additionally, in Miranda v. Arizona (1966), the Court mandated that individuals in police custody be informed of their rights, including the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney. These rulings reflected a broader commitment to ensuring due process and protecting individual rights within the criminal justice system.
