What did brown v. board of education challenge?

History

adelina 88 [10]2 years ago

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.

Southerners complained that their economy was crippled by the __________. Embargo Acts Tariff of 1828. Tariff of 1832. Alien &am
4vir4ik [10]

1) Southerners complained that their economy was crippled by the Embargo Acts Tariff of 1828. The “Tariff Act of 1828”, also called the “Tariff of Abominations” by Southern states since they saw this act as a menace to their economy. With the passing of this act, the south had to pay higher prices for the goods they did not manufacture and at the same time they had problems to sell their good (cotton) to their main buyer, Great Britain.  

2) The South Carolina politician that became known as the “Father of Nullification” was “John C. Calhoun”. John C. Calhoun was a Southern politician that strongly disagreed with the tariff act of 1828 and advocated for its nullification. At the time of the passing of the act John C. Calhoun was the US vice president.

3) The Nullification Crisis ended when the “Congress” passed a bill to “reduce” the tariff. In 1833 the congress passed the “Compromise Tariff of 1833” and this ended the Nullification Crisis as South Carolina accepted the act.

Lady bird [3.3K]
The colonists had never accepted the constitutionality of the duty on tea, and the Tea Act rekindled their opposition to it. Their resistance culminated in the Boston Tea Party on December 16, 1773, in which colonists boarded East India Company ships and dumped their loads of tea overboard.
