A one-time presidential hopeful, which Supreme Court chief justice oversaw Brown v. Board of Education and many other of the most consequential cases in American history?

Answer Earl Warren

During Warren's tenure, the Supreme Court issued decisions that protected personal rights in multiple contexts. Brown v. Board declared school segregation unconstitutional. In the criminal justice case Miranda v. Arizona, the court established the requirement that law enforcement officials inform any person taken into custody of their right to counsel and the right to remain silent (which came to be known as 'Miranda Rights').
