Which of these cases was decided earlier: Wesberry v. Sanders or Browder v. Gayle?
Wesberry v. Sanders Wesberry v. Sanders, 376 U.S. 1 (1964) was a U.S. Supreme Court case involving U.S. Congressional districts in the state of Georgia. The Court issued its ruling on February 17, 1964. This decision requires each state to draw its U.S. Congressional districts so that they are approximately equal in population.
Estelle v. Smith Estelle v. Smith, 451 U.S. 454 (1981) , was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that, per "Miranda v. Arizona" (1966), the state may not force a defendant to submit to a psychiatric examination solely for the purposes of sentencing. Any such examination violates the defendant's Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination as well as the Sixth Amendment right to counsel, and is therefore inadmissible at sentencing.
