CHAPTER 1 6/5/2019 Slide 7 BHS Law Related Education Program Criminal Justice Lesson 3: Criminal Procedure and the Constitution Ch. 3-1 Criminal Procedure and the Constitution Interpretation of the Constitution and the Influence of the Supreme Court During the 1960s, the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Earl Warren, interpreted the 4th and 5th Amendments in ways that limited police powers and extended citizens' rights. This liberal interpretation became known as due process revolution (1961–1969). In the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, the composition of the Supreme Court changed. Liberal justices retired and Republican presidents Nixon, Reagan, and Bush named conservative replacements. During this time the Supreme Court gave increasingly broad latitude for law enforcement and limited citizens rights. 7
