The Warren Court found many new rights not expressly in the [[U.S. Constitution]]. Among other important Warren Court decisions were the following:
:[[Miranda v. Arizona]] (1966) (established strict standards for how police could conduct custodial interrogations)
:[[Engel v. Vitale]] (limited mandatory school prayer in public schools)
:[[Griswold v. Connecticut]] (established a right to privacy for married couples)
:[[Brown v. Board of Education]] (1954) (overturned the ''[[separate but equal]]'' decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in [[Plessy v. Ferguson]])
:[[Berman v. Parker]] (allowed the taking by government of private property for private use)
:[[Cooper v. Aaron]] (established that Supreme Court precedents are binding on the states)
:[[Gideon v. Wainwright]] (1963) (established an indigent defendant's right to appointed counsel in felony cases) :[[Reynolds v. Sims]] (1964) (requiring that state legislative districts be roughly equal in population)<ref>http://www.pbs.org/wnet/supremecourt/rights/landmark_reynolds.html</ref> :[[Memoirs v. Massachusetts]] (1966) (led to further debate on what constituted as porn since the [[Roth v. United States]] ruling in 1957; and also was significant in expanding the porn industry)
