Writing the majority opinion in such cases as Brown v. Board of Education, this Dwight D. Eisenhower-appointee presided over what is considered a "Constitutional Revolution" and liberal shift.

Earl Warren served as chief justice for 15 years, 261 days, overseeing this shift in American constitutional jurisprudence, which took in landmark cases, like Reynolds v. Sims (1964), Miranda v. Arizona (1966), and Loving v. Virginia (1967). His court's rulings helped end McCarthyism and segregation. In so doing, he is viewed as one of the most influential U.S. chief justices – and, moreover, political leaders – in history, receiving praise from both liberals and conservatives.
