Question

Why did Chief Justice Earl Warren argue in the Brown decision that separate could never be equal?

Answer 1

Answer:

Chief Justice Earl Warren argued in the Brown decision that separate could never be equal because public education—which is a right for every citizen and deserved equal protection in accordance with the Fourteenth Amendment—had separate educational facilities for whites, and for blacks. This implied that both races were treated separately; being separated in such a way could not make them equally protected as expected by the constitution.
