Essential Questions How did the Warren court impact civil rights in the United States?

activate What rights would you have if you were arrested (hopefully this would never happen, but just imagine…..)

Setting the stage The Warren Court refers to the Supreme Court of the United States between 1953 and 1969, when Earl Warren served as Chief Justice. Warren led a liberal majority that used judicial power in dramatic fashion, to the consternation of his opponents. The Warren Court expanded civil rights, civil liberties, judicial power, and the federal power in dramatic ways. The court was both applauded and criticized for bringing an end to 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 a high point in judicial power that has receded ever since, but with a substantial continuing impact.

PRAYER AND PRIVACY WARREN COURT ALSO BOLSTERED SEPERATION OF CHURCH AND STATE CAN’T FORCE PRAYER IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS, READ BIBLE….ENGEL VS. VITALE

AP 2 What are your thoughts on Prayer in public places?

Brown vs. Board of Education Brown vs. Board of Education Paved the way for the modern civil rights movement. Struck down Plessy vs. Fereguson Separate is not equal! Segregation is unconstitutional in schools…. Therefor is it constitutional anywhere?

Mapp vs. Ohio Law enforcement must have a search warrant in order to enter home and search belongings. Search warrant must list specifically what law enforcement is looking for. This ruling ensures that law enforcement gather evidence before executing a warrant. A judge cannot issue a search warrant without reasonable suspicion.

Miranda vs. Arizona You must be read your rights when you are arrested. Knowing the rights that you have when being accused of a crime is a key civil rights issue!

Gideon vs. Wainwright You have the right to a lawyer even if you cannot afford one. If you cant afford a lawyer you will be appointed a lawyer.

Tinker vs. Des Moines You have the right to freedom of speech in schools UNLESS…. your freedom of speech disrupts others ability to learn in a tranquil environment. Remember, other students have the constitutional right to go to school in a peaceful environment.

Engel vs. Vitale Freedom of religion means that one religion cannot be forced on others without their consent. No more prayer over the public speakers at school. Federal, state, and local government cannot favor one religion over the other.

Trop vs. Dulles It is unconstitutional to strip someone of their citizenship if charged with a crime. What could happen to a defendant in court if they are no longer a citizen of the United States?

Robinson vs. California You cannot be charged as a criminal because you “look” like a drug abuser.
