The U.S. Supreme Court was started by Chief Justice Earl Warren. The Warren Court was about issuing landmark decisions. For example, declaring that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional as said in the Brown v. Board of Education “separate but equal” and that the right to privacy. In 1963, the Warren Court started another of its landmark decisions, Miranda v Arizona. The case was about a man named Ernesto Miranda, who was convicted and put in jail after signing a confession even though at the time of his arrest, the police questioned him without telling him he had the right to speak with an attorney and the right to stay silent. The Miranda decision strengthened Americans’ individual rights.
