Abstract
The article examines the activities of the U. S. Supreme Court under the chairmanship of Earl Warren. Such issues as the “constitutional revolution” committed by the Warren Court, the ratio of judicial activism and “legal restraint” in its decisions, and the periodization of its activities are considered. The Warren Court has largely given an expansive interpretation to the institutions of civil rights and freedoms, the judiciary, and the federal level of government. This court, through a series of rulings, approved the principle of “one person, one vote” in US electoral law and created the Miranda rule.
