Answer:

Racial segregation in public schools and how it was unconstitutional.

<h2>What was the Brown V. Board of Education of 1954?</h2>

Supreme Court decision that overturned the Plessy vs. Ferguson decision (1896); led by Chief Justice Earl Warren, the Court ruled that "separate but equal" schools for blacks were inherently unequal and thus unconstitutional. The decision energized the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s.

All the cases are named in alphabetical order by last name. The next on the list was Linda Brown so they named the case, "Brown v. the Board of Education."

An <u>example</u>: Little rock school was the site of forced desegregation in 1957 when the governor of Alabama wouldn't allow the "Little Rock nine" access to the school. President Eisenhower then mobilized the 101st airborne division to force the school to admit the students.

The ruling of the case "Brown vs the Board of Education" is, that racial segregation is unconstitutional in public schools. This also proves that it violated the 14th amendment to the constitution, which prohibits the states from denying equal rights to any person. The 14th Amendment gave citizenship to former slaves and protected their civil rights (due process and equal protection of the law). The goal of the parents was to stop segregation in public schools and to move kids to closer school in their neighborhoods.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

From a religious point of view, witch hunting was justified by the belief that witches served the devil and everything associated with the devil should be stopped.

This was directly linked to the culture of the population of that region, since people agreed that witches, for running away from Christian standards, should be punished.

Explanation:

There was, in Europe, the belief that witches were women who received demonic spirits, did jobs for the devil on earth, besides promoting all kinds of atrocities in the world.

European society was extremely religious and this religion was directly associated with the cultural aspects of that society, which had Christian concepts with absolute laws, which allowed those who disobeyed those concepts to be punished harshly. This supported witch hunting and allowed anyone (especially women) who was tried for witchcraft to be harshly punished, often with torture and death.
