The Warren Court was the period in the history of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1953 to 1969 when Earl Warren served as the chief justice. The Warren Court is often considered the most liberal court in U.S. history.
The Warren Court expanded civil rights, civil liberties, judicial power, and the federal power in dramatic ways.[a] It has been widely recognized that the court, led by the liberal bloc, created a major "Constitutional Revolution" in U.S. history.[2][3][4][5][6]
The Warren Court brought "one man, one vote" to the United States through a series of rulings, and created the Miranda warning.[7][8][9] In addition, the court was both applauded and criticized for bringing an end to de jure racial segregation in the United States, incorporating the Bill of Rights (i.e. including it in the 14th Amendment Due Process clause), and ending officially sanctioned voluntary prayer in public schools. The period is recognized as the most liberal point that judicial power had ever reached, but with a substantial continuing impact.[b][c]
