The Supreme Court extended civil liberties in the 1950s and 1960s through landmark decisions such as Brown v. Board of Education, which desegregated schools; Gideon v. Wainwright, which established the right to counsel for criminal defendants; and Miranda v. Arizona, which required police to inform suspects of their rights. These rulings significantly expanded the protection of individual rights and freedoms.
