Answer:

SUPREME COURT POWER

Step-by-step explanation:

In 1956, 19 Senators and 77 members of the House of Representatives signed the "Southern Manifesto," a resolution condemning the 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education. The resolution called the decision "a clear abuse of judicial power" and encouraged states to resist implementing its mandates.The Manifesto attacked Brown as an abuse of judicial power that trespassed upon states' rights. It urged southerners to exhaust all “lawful means” to resist the “chaos and confusion” that would result from school desegregation.
