QUESTION THREE: One eminent constitutional scholar has proclaimed, after completing his study of the Warren Court, that "the Constitution means whatever the Court says it does." Do you agree? Discuss with reference to the Griswold, Engel, and Miranda decisions.

QUESTION FOUR: How should historians remember the Warren Court? Specifically, did its pro-civil rights decisions flow from the same ideological bases as its decisions enhancing civil liberties? Discuss through a comparison/contrast of the Brown decision with one of the three cases in the question above.
