Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dickerson v. United States dealt with whether the federal congress can overrule the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Miranda warning. The Supreme Court had previously ruled in Miranda v. Arizona that law enforcement must advise suspects of their constitutional rights, including the right to remain silent and the right to an attorney, prior to any interrogation. Congress passed a law, the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act, that attempted to supersede Miranda. The case of Dickerson v. United States determined that Congress cannot overrule the Supreme Court's interpretation of the Constitution.
