Strict constructionists interpret constitutional statements strictly. That means they want the words of the constitution to be put into practice with close attention to the original intent of the constitutional protections that were put in place. Since the 14th Amendment calls for "equal protection of the laws" for all citizens in respect to all their rights as citizens, Brown v. Board applied this to education and insisted equal rights could not be abridged or infringed upon in regard to educational facilities in any state of the Union.

Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, decided by the US Supreme Court in 1954, ruled that all Americans are entitled to the same civil liberties and protections in regard to access to education. Until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students. An older Supreme Court decision, Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), had said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality. In the case of Brown v. Board of Education, that standard was challenged and defeated. Segregation was shown to create inequality, and the Supreme Court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

The 14th Amendment was being violated by states whose laws supported the segregation of schools. The full context of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment reads as follows:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

1. The documentary begins with a news headline announcing what? 2. Where was Carmen Miranda born? Portugal 3. Brazil received ma

Aneli [31]

Answer and Explanation:

1. You did not inform the document to which the question refers, but in view of the other questions we can infer that the documentary announces the life of Carmen Miranda.

2. Carmen Miranda was born in Portugual, but was raised in Brazil, a place she considered her true homeland.

3. During the 20th century, Brazil received immigrants from all over the world, but mainly from Europe, the Middle East and Japan.

4. Carmem Miranda grew up listening to popular Brazilian music like samba and bossa nova.

5. Carmen Miranda had the ability to incorporate all popular Brazilian rhythms and maintain the characteristics of Brazil in a commercial and completely international music. She was able to convey the joy, rhythm and animation of the Brazilian people in a very genuine, correct and respectable way.

6. She wore a flowing dress and a fruit-hat turban. This can be considered cultural appropriation because it is a traditional clothing worn by black women in Bahia, a Brazilian state. Carmen Miranda was neither Bahian nor black, but she was using something completely intrinsic to that culture.

7. She went to New York, where she performed on Broadway.

8. She said that she knew very little of the English language and that she could speak some 20 words, among them: money and hot-dog.

9. She stated that she was not "Americanized" and that she was still as Brazilian as anyone who was born in the country. She said that, because Brazilian criticism used to call her that, something she didn't like.

10. Carmen Miranda used to play roles of colorful, loud and loud Latin women that attracted a lot of attention. This can be problematic in two ways. Firstly, this reinforced stereotypes of Latin women, especially Brazilian women. Secondly, it limited her as an actress and hindered her from expanding the talent she possessed.
