Main Idea: the Supreme court made changes that shaped American Society. Some beneficial and others not as much. Earl Warren was a valuable asset in these changes through his liberal view ​
The Court took an active role in promoting more liberal politics (a political and social philosophy advocating individual freedom, representational forms of government, progress and reform, and protection of civil liberties.) this was because Earl supported this way of running the government. ​
Warren Court decisions greatly expanded the rights of people accused of crimes ​
