In ''Baker v. Carr'', 269 U.S. 186 (1962), the [[U.S. Supreme Court]] held that courts could redraw the boundaries of legislative districts. This altered the democratic control over redistricting that existed since the [[Constitution]] was adopted.
Justice [[William Brennan]] wrote this decision for the [[Warren Court]], declaring that it was the "responsibility of this Court as ultimate interpreter of the [[Constitution]]."
Justice [[Felix Frankfurter]], joined by Justice [[John Harlan II]], complained in dissent that this was "a massive repudiation of the experience of our past in asserting destructively novel judicial power."
