Abstract
The U.S. Supreme Court dramatically reshaped the nation’s criminal justice system in the 1960s. As presided over by Chief Justice Earl Warren until mid-1969, the Court broadly interpreted rights that the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments afford persons accused of crimes. Through the process of selective incorporation, the Court used the Fourteenth Amendment to apply elements of these amendments, historically restricting federal but not state infringement of individual rights, to the states.
