13 D. The Warren Court the most liberal in US History 1. Chief Justice Earl Warren a. led what was considered an Activist Court: judicial activism: occurs when judges seek to enact legislation through court rulings through rulings, seem to make laws rather than interpret them b. Warren Court also applied what is known as judicial interpretation to the Constitution. This brought up the debate between strict construction and judicial interpretation (also known as loose construction) Strict Construction: allows only a literal reading and strict interpretation of the Constitution restricts judicial interpretation Judicial Interpretation: occurs when justices extend the Constitution s meaning beyond the framers original intent and allows for reasonable inferences based on the text - loose interpretation
14 2. Warren Court Issues and Reforms a. One Man, One Vote and Reapportionment reapportionment: the method states use to draw up political districts based on changes in population 1) background: In 1960, 80% of Americans lived in the cities/burbs. States were over-representing rural areas. The result? The vote of a city dweller counted for less than the vote of a rural resident. 2) The solution? a) Baker v. Carr (1962) - made such arrangements illegal. Upheld principal of one man, one vote
15 Texas Political Districts (2010 census)
16 b) Reynolds v. Sims (1964) - State legislative districts should be = in population. - shifted political power from rural, often conservative areas to urban areas where more liberal voters resided
17 b. Extending Due Process - strengthen rights of people accused of crimes Due Process: a judicial requirement that laws may not treat individuals unfairly, arbitrarily, or unreasonably, and that courts must follow proper procedures and rules when trying cases
18 1) Gideon v. Wainwright (1963) - State courts must provide a lawyer in criminal cases where defendant couldn t afford one 2) Escobedo v. Illinois (1964) - accused person has right to have lawyer present when being questioned by police 3) Miranda v. Arizona (1966) - police must inform suspects of their legal rights at time of arrest
19 c. Prayer & Privacy 1) Engel v. Vitale (1962) - states can t compose official prayer and require them to be recited in public school 2) Griswold v. Connecticut (1965) - to prohibit the sale & use of birth control violated the constitutional right to privacy
20 3. Effects of Litigation on the democratic process litigation: the process of taking legal action a. Many Warren court reforms were initiated by citizens who exercised their right to participate in the democratic process in the US they sued through the legal system and the cases went all the way up to the Supreme Court b. other methods of participating in the democratic process 1) lobbying (working to influence gov t decisions that relate to a particular industry, issue, etc) 2) non-violent protesting 3) amendments to the US Constitution
21
22 II. JFK & the Cold War A. JFK s Foreign Policy: Flexible Response 1. The plan a. Address the growing threat of the USSR 1) biggest threat to freedom? iron tyranny of communism 2) to fight communism, Americans must be willing to pay any price and bear any burden b. JFK increased defense spending options (Ike cut spending on non-nuke forces Massive retaliation to deter USSR. But USSR has nukes too US faced nuclear devastation)
23 Why increase Conventional forces? To avoid mutually assured destruction (mad)
24 c. Flexible Response - policy of seeking a range of options from which to choose in dealing w/ int l crisis 1) increased nuclear stockpile 2) expanded non-nuke forces-conventional troops/weapons 3) built up elite branch of army called the Special Forces (Green Berets) to wage guerilla warfare in limited conflicts
25 2. JFK offers financial aid to other countries a. Problems in Latin America 1) gov ts in hands of wealthy few/ masses in extreme poverty 2) growing movements to overthrow LA gov ts 3) some resented American imperialism b. JFK feared the spread of communism in Latin America. Knowing that communism fed on poverty & social injustice, he urged Americans to support aid programs to the region
26 the rule of c. Alliance for Progress: 1) a Marshall Plan for Latin America aimed at containing communism in Latin America by offering economic & technical aid to Latin American nations ($ for schools, housing etc) 2) mostly a failure as $ ended up in hands of wealthy & strengthened dictators Example: Anastasio Somoza: His family almost continually ruled Nicaragua from 1936 to 1980.
27 d. The Peace Corp 1) A volunteer program to provide help to developing nations 2) Fights poverty by performing humanitarian service containing communism at the same time!
28 4. The Space Race a. Space race: Cold War competition over dominance of space exploration capability b. If USSR 1 st in space technology, might appear communism better than capitalism 1) JFK wants man on moon 2) NASA begins effort to produce necessary technology c.

33 b. Cuban Communism 1) Castro establishes ties w/ USSR 2) jailed/murdered opponents 3) seized foreign owned (many US) property/biz 4) drastic land reforms socialism 5) USSR indicates plan to strengthen Cuba s military
34
35 c. US Response? Communism too close! 90 miles from Key West FL to Havana, Cuba 1) Ike breaks diplomatic ties 2) CIA develops plan to eliminate Castro d. The Plan begun under Ike, approved by JFK 1) train anti-castro Cuban exiles La Brigada 2) force would land on Cuba & inspire Cuban people to rise up against Castro
36 e. The Invasion. April 17, Total disaster! 1) Cuban exile force ashore at Bahia de Cochinos Bay of Pigs 2) CIA maps/intelligence outdated. Ignored coral reef info 3) La Brigada boats old & leaky, run aground on coral reefs 4) JFK cancelled air support to keep US involvement secret 5) popular uprising never materializes
37 f. The result? 1) w/in 72 hrs, most invaders killed or captured 2) US pays ransom to get back captured invaders 3) American prestige/goodwill shaken worldwide 4) JFK s admin. appears weak/disorganized Cartoonists ridiculed Kennedy for the Bay of Pigs fiasco.

38 2. Berlin Wall Goes UP a. JFK/Krushchev meet in Vienna, June ) subject of debate: City of West Berlin 2) West Berlin = non-communist outpost in the heart of communist East Germany (a symbol of freedom to Western nations) 3) also a gateway for E. Germans to escape to the West (freedom!)
39 Why they built The Berlin Wall

41 1) wall allows USSR to avoid a showdown over W. Berlin 2) Becomes a symbol of the Cold War division of East/West 3) 1963: JFK gives ich bin ein Berliner speech All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin. And, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words Ich bin ein Berliner (I am a Berliner).
42

57 4. Kennedy s Legacy a. used nat l grief to build support for legislation b.
