The Supreme Court decision in Furman v Georgia exposes the deep split between judicial activists led by Justice Marshall and restraint advocates Burger and Rehnquist.

He led peasant troops, was killed in 1919, and his birthplace now features a rotunda and a garden and an unusual flagpole made from cana blocks commemorating ejido reform.
