Chief Justice Earl Warrens sixteen years on the bench were among the most dramatic  productive  and controversial in the history of the Supreme Court. Warrens tenure saw the Court render decisions that are still hotly debated today. Its rulings addressed such issues as school desegregation  separation of church and state  and freedom of expression.  In 1954 Warren and his colleagues struck down school segregation as unconstitutional. They then participated in a broad campaign to win equal rights for African Americans. While it cautiously dismantled McCarthy-era infringements on civil liberties  the Warren Court boldly expanded freedom of expression in other areas. Frankly using constitutional law as a tool to promote political and social reform  the Warren Court revolutionized criminal procedure and mandated an end to the malapportionment of state legislatures and other representative institutions. It both invented and constitutionally guaranteed individuals rights to privacy with respect to sexual matters. Its rulings did much to advance the agenda of the liberal reformers who dominated American politics during the 1960s. But these rulings also angered many Americans  who accused the Warren Court of running God out of the public schools  handcuffing the police  and flooding the country with smut.  Although it staggered to an end in 1969 amid controversy and scandal  the Warren Court revolutionized constitutional law. In the entire history of the Supreme Court  only John Marshalls tenure can compare with Warrens in respect to the significance of its decisions and its impact on the development of American constitutional law. No other Court has had greater impact on American culture and mores than that of Earl Warren.  Drawing on internal memoranda as well as published opinions of the justices  Belknap reveals the philosophical debates and personality conflicts behind the Courts decisions. He also assesses the overall accomplishments and failures of the Warren Court and places them in both their political and social contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45960449294389,"sku":"ByrdShop_1570035636","price":125.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781570035630.jpg?v=1788287542","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-supreme-court-under-earl-warren-19531969-chief-justiceships-of-the-united-states-supreme-court-9781570035630","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
