Hi there!

As a result of Regents of the University of California v. Bakke (1978), the U.S. Supreme Court banned B. the use of quotas in affirmative action.

Regents of the University of California v. Bakke was a landmark Supreme Court decision that ruled that while affirmative action programs are sometimes constitutional, racial quotas are a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Correct answer:

<h2>b) the use of quotas</h2>

Details:

The Supreme Court's decision gave some credence to Allan Bakke's claim that the University of California at Davis had practiced some amount of reverse discrimination in denying him admittance to the medical school because he was not an economically or educationally disadvantaged member of one of four racial/ethnic groups eligible for their special admission program.  But the Court was careful to note that race could be considered as a factor (among many factors) in college admissions, if  schools practiced great care in doing so.  Having a basic quota system, such as UC Davis reserving 16 spots out of 100 each year, was considered discriminatory.

The essence of the decision in<em> Regents of the University of California v. Bakke </em>was that the Court upheld affirmative action.  It allowed race to be considered as one of several factors in college admission policy.  But establishing specific racial quotas was an approach that the Court said was not allowable.

Why did Parliament prefer William and Mary to Charles 2?
rosijanka [135]

Answer: William and Mary respected Parliament.

Explanation:

Unlike Charles II, William and Mary (like all future rulers) did not try to pass a single law without going through parliamentary procedure. Also, Charles II rejected the rules and did not convene a session of Parliament for three years.

All this was the result of Parliament's distrust of Charles II. This is why the trust was shown to William and Mary.

President nixon proposed a solution to domestic problems called ____ which would shift power and money to states and cities.
Sergeeva-Olga [200]
The correct answer is New Federalism.

This policy of Richard Nixon focused on giving state and local government more power in solving social issues within their respective territories. Nixon felt that the federal government was too large and intrusive in scope ever since the New Deal programs developed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The New Federalism program would help to get rid of this oversight and allow states/cities to have more control over the funds they received from the federal government.
