"Yick Wo v. Hopkins, 118 U.S. 356 (1886), was the first case where the United States Supreme Court ruled that a law that is race-neutral on its face, but is administered in a prejudicial manner, is an infringement of the Equal Protection Clause in the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
I believe THE ANSWER IS A,D
Answer:
1. b) The incorporation of the 14th Amendment has consolidated power between the government at the local, state, and federal level.
2. a) The Supreme Court overturned the separate but equal doctrine in schools.
Explanation:
1. The 14th Amendment's incorporation concentrates local, state, and federal power. Section 1 of this amendment states, "No state shall abridge the rights or immunities of U.S. citizens; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor shall any state deny any person within its jurisdiction equal protection of the laws."
2. Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka abolished the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson tenet of "separate but equal" in schools. This judgement did not say that separating pupils by race was intrinsically improper; rather, it declared that if two schools were really equal, they should be permitted to separate without legal repercussions.
The primary issue that surrounded the vigorous debate over the ratification of the constitution was if this new document was going to give the federal government too much power over individuals and the states, with the Federalists saying no and the Anti-Federalists saying yes. The states didn't want this new government to be able to tax them or regulate their currencies.
