Question

The fourteenth amendment states that, no state shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. How did the supreme court expand on this in the 1950's?

Answer 1

option A. discrimination

Answer 2

• Desegregating schools in Brown v. Board of Education.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court under Earl Warren, ruled that by definition, having desegregated schools was unequal because it put people of difference races in different settings which meant that they were not being treated equally.

It was therefore a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution and had to be voided.

This ruling was important as it led to increasing calls for civil rights in the United States and showed that discrimination could indeed be fought in the courts.
