Answer: A) Warren Court

Step-by-step explanation:

The Warren Court made several amendments in the proceedings of court so as to protect the innocent against the massive power of the state. The right to counsel was the sixth amendment, in this the accuse can take legal help from court. The fifth amendment was against the self-incrimination that is no one will give statement against himself or herself in the court of law. It has also given rights to confront the witnesses and the jury in the trial in the criminal cases. These amendments will help the innocent to speak up the truth and will help to make himself or herself against penalization.
