The US Supreme Court of the 1960s significantly expanded individual rights through landmark rulings that reinforced civil liberties and protections. Notable cases like Miranda v. Arizona established the necessity of informing individuals of their rights during police interrogations, while Loving v. Virginia struck down laws banning interracial marriage, promoting racial equality. Additionally, Gideon v. Wainwright ensured the right to legal counsel for defendants unable to afford an attorney. These decisions collectively advanced the rights of individuals and underscored the Court's role in protecting personal freedoms.
