Warren Court
A Supreme Court that expanded civil rights, civil liberties, and federal power in dramatic ways
Real World Example
The Warren Court, active during the 1960s, was crucial in supporting The New Frontier, President Kennedy's vision for progress in America. It made landmark decisions like Brown v. Board of Education, which ended racial segregation in schools, echoing New Frontier goals of equality and opportunity. These decisions highlighted tensions in civil rights and individual freedoms, debates that continue today in discussions about equality and justice. For example, the Court's decisions on free speech and privacy continue to affect how people express themselves online and protect their personal information. In daily life, this means that students can attend integrated schools and individuals can rely on legal protections for their personal rights.
