The statement which best describes the impact of the Gideon decision is; All people, whether wealthy or not, now have the same rights in court.

The Gideon decision

The U.S. Supreme Court, in 1963, issued its decision in Gideon v. Wainwright, unanimously holding that defendants facing serious criminal charges have a right to be represented by a counsel at state expense if they cannot afford one.
