Explanation:

The Supreme Court's ruling in Brown vs. Board of Education (1954) was based on the fourteenth amendment right.

The case of Brown vs Board of Education was brought forward to the Supreme Court to stop segregation in schools as most blacks have to go through rigors to attend black only schools when there is a white only school within their vicinity.

The Supreme Court rule in favour of Brown that his daughter should be allowed to attend a school within the neighbourhood even though it was previously designated as a white only school. They based their decision on the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits the states from denying equal protection of the laws to any person within their jurisdictions.
