Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Warren Court (1953-1969) was known for its progressive rulings on issues such as civil rights and individual liberties. The courts immediately succeeding it were viewed as more conservative, particularly under Chief Justice Rehnquist in the 1980s and 1990s. These courts were seen as more favorable to states' rights, limiting the power of federal agencies, and upholding the death penalty. Therefore, D is the best choice.
