The Warren Court (1953–1969) made several rulings expanding the application of the Constitution to civil liberties, leading a considerable change in the scope of substantive due process. It held that segregation was unconstitutional (Brown v. Board of Education) in public (ie, tax supported) schooling, that the Constitution protects a general right to privacy (Griswold v. Connecticut), that schools cannot sponsor or impose official prayer on students (Engel v. Vitale) nor mandatory Bible readings either (Abington School District v. Schempp), dramatically increased the scope of the doctrine of incorporation (Mapp v. Ohio and Miranda v. Arizona), found that the Fifth Amendment (Bolling v. Sharpe) required equal protection of the laws to all, and held that the Constitution requires active compliance (Gideon v. Wainwright).

The Burger Court (1969–1986) ruled that abortion was included in the Constitutionally protected right to privacy (Roe v. Wade), made several somewhat contradictory rulings on affirmative action (Regents of the University of California v. Bakke) and campaign finance regulation (Buckley v. Valeo), and ruled that the death penalty was unconstitutional as it violated the cruel and unusual prohibition in the Bill of Rights to the US Constitution (Furman v. Georgia), but later held that it was not unconstitutional after all if done in particular ways (Gregg v. Georgia).
