Answer:

equal

Explanation:

The case of Plessy v. Ferguson was a case that was heard by the US Supreme Court in 1896 in which a black person violated the Louisiana's Separate Car Act of 1890 and he argued that this law was unconstitutional. However, in the decision the US Supreme Court ruled that Louisiana law was not unconstitutional because although the Fourteenth Amendment referred to the equality of white and black people, it didn't eliminate the distinctions based on color. So, according to this, in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court focused its decision on the interpretation of the word equal.

What did the Brown vs Broad of Education Supreme Court Decision in 1954 mean for United States Public Schools?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954),[1] was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that U.S. state laws establishing racial segregation in public schools are unconstitutional, even if the segregated schools are otherwise equal in quality. Handed down on May 17, 1954, the Court's unanimous (9–0) decision stated that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal", and therefore violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. However, the decision's 14 pages did not spell out any sort of method for ending racial segregation in schools, and the Court's second decision in Brown II (349 U.S. 294 (1955)) only ordered states to desegregate "with all deliberate speed".

Describe 2 effects of the columbian exchange, one positive and one negative.
Andreyy89

The Columbian exchange involved the interaction of two cultural systems that previously had no interaction: European and Amerindian cultures in the New World. One positive aspect of this exchange was the introduction of European culture in the form of social, political and economic systems. The introduction of the English language, growth of towns and cities and systems of barter and currency. A negative impact involved the destruction and eradication of indigenous cultures through war, devastation and relocation. Perhaps the best example of this fact was the destruction of cultures in Mexico and South and Central America such as the Aztec, Maya and Inca.

Overall, is President Washington suggesting that our nation should be unified or more concerned with individual, local issues? C
Naily [24]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You did not include any reference, not context, or text.

However, doing some research, probably you are referring to the farewell speech of President George Washington. If that is the case, we can comment in the following.

Overall, President Washington suggested that our nation should be unified and that it should never be divided by factions or political interests. That is why President Washington never supported the idea of forming political parties because that could divide people and confront the country.

Washington's letter was published in September 1796, and the document insisted that Americans should maintain unity and respect regarding the internal or external circumstances.
