Answer 1

The Supreme Court’s decision in Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education ruled unconstitutional racial segregation on buses and in schools and dictated the use of busing to accelerate school integration nationwide.

Step-by-step explanation:

Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education

The correct statements that describe the Supreme Court's decision in Swann v. Charlottesville-Mecklenburg Board of Education are:

• It ruled that racial segregation on buses and in schools was unconstitutional.
• It led to busing students to speed up integration in many districts across the nation.

The decision did not slow the pace of school desegregation on a nationwide basis, rather, the Swann case accelerated the desegregation process. The case demonstrated that some school districts, like Charlotte-Mecklenburg, had been reluctant to fully implement desegregation and required federal intervention to ensure the enforcement of Brown v. Board of Education.
