Only in criminal cases. I.e., if the government arrests you and threatens to
put you in jail, then the presumptions are that the government (a) has so
many more resources than any individual could muster and (b) is supposed to
be working for the people anyway, so you get the free lawyer if you want.
If Company A says Company B owes them money, then no, Company B doesn't get
any lawyers for free.
Once again, it's protection from the government and not so much from each
other that's written into the constitution.

Is he able, but not willing, to prevent phrogams?
Then he is malevolent.
