Brown V. Board of Education was a landmark decision enacted by the US Supreme Court in 1954, that abolished segregation in public schools and understood that the 'separate but equal' principle that had governed such procedures was violating the Equal Protection Clause and therefore, unconstitutional. This clause was introduced by the 14th amendtment to the US Constitution during the Reconstruction Era, aiming to guarantee equality of rights to all US citizens.

This decision in 1954 overturned the former Plessy v. Ferguson decision from 1896, that had understood that the 'separate but equal' principle did not violate the Equal Protection clause and therefore it enabled segregation.

How did the Swahili language affect trade in the East African city-states?
vlada-n [284]

The Swahili language is actually a language that has its basis in the Bantu, but over time, because of the constant communication with lots of people that came in this part of Africa to trade, the language incorporated lots of words and phrases from other languages, so it became a mixed language that lots of people started using for mutual communication.

What role did consumerism​ play in the early growth of capitalism?
Inga [223]

Since capitalism is based around the production and trade, consumerism as a movement that promoted consumtion logically increased the demand and the production. The more people consumed, the more profit did the companies have. By definition, consumerism promotes over consumtion of goods and services that are not neccessary or needed. Using the means of marketing and promotion, companies affect people's behavior by increasing the demand for certain products and therefore creating trends. In consumerism, products lose their value and are easily replacable. Also the appetite for variety of different products is increased.
