It would be very hard to decide which of the Warren
Court's cases was the most famous. The Supreme Court, under Earl Warren, handed down
many decisions that had a huge impact on the US. Here are a few of these
cases:
- Miranda v. Arizona. This one said that
police had to read suspects their rights before questioning
them. - Gideon v. Wainwright. This one said that poor
defendants had to have a lawyer appointed for them if they could not afford to pay for
one themselves. - Griswold v. Connecticut. This one said
that people have a right to privacy and that, because of this, states could not ban the
use of contraceptives.
However, if you have to
pick one case that is the most famous, I would say that it was the Brown v. Board of
Education case from 1954. This case made racial segregation in schools illegal and
helped the Civil Rights Movement get started.
