History

Like other fish, sharks "breathe" through their gills, which are respiratory organs akin to our lungs. As water passes over the gill's membranes, tiny blood vessels extract oxygen from the water. Carbon dioxide waste also passes from the shark's blood and out of its body through the gill tissue.

Lana71 [14]

The correct answer is D) protected legal rights for many marginalized groups.

Since the Brown v. Board of Education ruling, the Fourteenth Amendment's equal protection clause has protected legal rights for many marginalized groups.

The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, as part of the Amendments during Reconstruction, granted citizenship to former black slaves and protection of the laws. This decision also impacted other marginalized groups in the country, that benefited from the Supreme Court's decision.

The Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education. overturned the ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson.

In the case of Plessy v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court had ruled the constitutionality of "separate but equal." But many years later this decision was reversed by another Supreme Court resolution in the case Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas decided on May 17. 1954. The judges decided that "separate but equal" regarding public school facilities violated the Equal Protection established in the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution.
