Answer:
1. b) The incorporation of the 14th Amendment has consolidated power between the government at the local, state, and federal level.
2. a) The Supreme Court overturned the separate but equal doctrine in schools.
Explanation:
1. The 14th Amendment's incorporation concentrates local, state, and federal power. Section 1 of this amendment states, "No state shall abridge the rights or immunities of U.S. citizens; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor shall any state deny any person within its jurisdiction equal protection of the laws."
2. Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka abolished the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson tenet of "separate but equal" in schools. This judgement did not say that separating pupils by race was intrinsically improper; rather, it declared that if two schools were really equal, they should be permitted to separate without legal repercussions.
The Americans had won and they became allies with France. Also, they felt victorious.
