Answer 1

In Michelle's case, the amendments she could cite in a federal court that would help her case are:

• 6th Amendment: This amendment guarantees the rights of criminal defendants, including the right to counsel (which includes being assigned a public defender) and the right to confront witnesses.

• 14th Amendment: This amendment provides for due process and equal protection under the law, which can be relevant if her rights were violated during her arrest and trial.

Therefore, Michelle should cite the 6th and 14th amendments in her case against the state.
