5 0

Probably the two main reasons that separation of powers changed from a popular theory to a vital principle of government were 1.)that the state leaders had within their reach, through election either by the houses or by the people, the office of governor, and 2.) it was generally accepted that the executive office was the place for leaders whether they were radical or conservative. Consequently, radical leaders such as Patrick Henry and Thomas Jefferson became governors and supporters of separation of powers in their efforts to strengthen the executive. On the other hand, the conservative Roger Sherman did not become governor and continued to oppose separation of powers.8<span> Had the executive office been unattainable in America because a king occupied the executive position, or weak because a king controlled the incumbent, then the services of popular leaders would have been limited to the legislative branch. Under these circumstances the supremacy of the legislative branch would probably have been established.</span>

What was the effect of the supreme court's decision referred to as "brown ii"?

Jobisdone [24]

The Supreme Court case of Brown vs Board II results in the Supreme Court demanding that all schools desegregate "with all deliberate speed."

During the first Brown v. Board case, the Supreme Court ruled that the "separate but equal" (established in Plessy vs. Ferguson) was illegal. The court argued that separate can never be equal and that this includes in America's public schools.

However, many all white schools refused to follow this law. This resulted in the Supreme Court having to establish that this needed to be done with "all deliberate speed." Since this terminology is vague, several white schools take several years to integrate schools. This results in more hostility between whites and African-Americans throughout the US.
