• Answer:

  Warren’s Court was nowhere near unanimous in the Miranda v. Arizona case. In fact, the case was decided by the slightest margin of five to four. Warren followed in his own footsteps and delivered the opinion of yet another controversial case. Once again Warren helped pave the road for the requirements of due process. He found that in order to follow the laws of the Constitution and the Fifth Amendment right to not incriminate oneself “an individual held for interrogation must be clearly informed that he has the right to consult with a lawyer and to have the lawyer with him during interrogation.” (Warren, 1966, Miranda v. Arizona) Furthermore he decided that “prior to any questioning, the person must be warned that he has a right to remain silent, that any statement he does make may be used as evidence against him.” The Miranda doctrine soon thereafter became the famous Miranda rights. Warren in this instance was being an activist. The policy made in this case was very specific, in that it called for police to strictly follow certain guidelines prior to interrogating an individual. He spelled out the privileges of individuals that never before were enforced by law. He did adhere to the strict interpretation of the Constitution, but instead offered his own opinion on what the Fifth Amendment meant. Informing an individual of his or her rights before interrogation was, to him, a sure way they’re privilege of self-incrimination would not be abandoned. Prior to that decision the rights of many were certainly jeopardized by police. Warren contributed to protect every day people from being victims of injustices by insuring due process under the Constitution. note: check this website for a complete description of warren and his decisions while on the supreme court. http://articles.castelarhost.com/earl_warren_judicial_revolution.htm
