Would the state's policy be constitutionally permissible? a. Yes, because states may grant their citizens fewer rights than those incorporated through the Fourteenth Amendment against the states. b. Yes, because the Constitution permits states considerable leeway to interpret the rulings of the Supreme Court. c. No, because the state's policy would violate the Sixth and Fourteenth Amendments as interpreted by the Supreme Court in the case of Gideon v. Wainwright. d.
