The+Warren+Court



The Supreme Court aka The Warren Court after its Chief Justice, Earl Warren. The Warren court was formed after it was used for many years by Kennedy and Johnson in decision making. The Warren Court made its first attempt to define obscenity in the 1957 case, Roth v. United States. Obscenity means offensive to morality or decency, and the court ruled that obscene materials were without social importance. In a 1962 case, the Court ruled that religious prayer in public schools was unconstitutional according to the First Amendment principle of church and state.
