Question

Which of the following statements are true of the ruling in Brown v. Board of Education? It called for the immediate desegregation of public schools. It did not give a deadline for when desegregation should take place. It called on the president of the United States to use federal troops to force integration.

Answer 1

Your answer will be B (or the second one).

It did not give a deadline for when desegregation should take place.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) It did not give a deadline for when desegregation should take place.

In the Brown vs. Board of Education case, it simply stated that "separate but equal" school facilities for black and white students violated the 14th amendment of the US Constitution. More specifically, it violated the Equal Protection clause of the 14th amendment. Even though the court ruled segregation illegal, it did not give a timeline. This is not done until the Brown vs. Board of Education II case, which then establishes that schools should integrate "with all delibarate speed."
