Baker v. Carr is one of the most important Supreme Court cases in American history. It really opened up the floodgates. Although the Court has always been at least somewhat political, I’d argue this case made it much more political. I’d also argue that no Supreme Court case in American history has ever tested our justices more so than this case. I mean, it led to one justice having a nervous breakdown, for crying out loud.
And finally, this case made it so that the Court would likely be much more busy from now on.
