The Brown vs. Board of Education was controversial for several reasons, including:
1) Overturned the Supreme Court case ruling in Plessy vs. Ferguson- The Plessy vs. Ferguson (1896) case established the idea of "separate but equal" facilities for blacks and whites in American society. This course ended this precedent in America.
2) It ruled segregation in public schools illegal- This ruling would eventually end segregated schools, which have existed since the beginning of the 20th century.
In a historic ruling handed down on June 27, 2013, the Supreme Court declared that Section 3 of DOMA is unconstitutional and that the federal government cannot discriminate against married lesbian and homosexual couples when deciding federal benefits and protections.
<h3>What is the United States v. Windsor case?</h3>
A significant same-sex marriage civil rights case heard by the US Supreme Court was Windsor, 570 U.S. 744 (2013). The Defense of Marriage Act's (DOMA) Section 3 was found to be in violation of the Fifth Amendment's Due Process Clause because it forbade the federal government from recognizing same-sex unions.
Asserting that Windsor compensated her for her harm in the lower court and that there was no debate because the Government-backed her claim, Justice Scalia dissented in concurrence with Justice Thomas and Chief Justice Roberts.
