Question

Identify the constitutional provision that is common in both Milliken v. Bradley (1974) and Brown v. Board of Education (I) (1954). Based on the constitutional provision provided in part (A), explain how the facts of Brown v. Board of Education (I) (1954) led to a different decision than the decision in Milliken v. Bradley (1974). Explain how voters who disagree with the holding in Milliken v. Bradley (1974) could act to limit its impact.

Answer 1

Answer:

The cases were about racial segregation.

Explanation:

Brown v. Board of Education(1954) was a Supreme Court case which ruled that children's racial segregation in government's schools was illegal. The decision by the Supreme court showed that everyone is equal despite their colour or religion.

Milliken v. Bradley(1974) was a Supreme Court case in the United States regarding the outlined desegregation of busing among public school students in Detroit. There was a plan to blend students of different races in United States public schools following the decision made in Brown v. Board of Education (1954). The decision was the opposite of the decision made in Brown v. Board of Education as segregation was encouraged.

The court refused to remedy unequal and separate education. Children need to learn together and understand each other. I believe voters who disagreed with the ruling could have made a peaceful protest regarding the decision made. Also, since the public schools were mainly funded by taxes, the people who opposed the decision could have refused to pay tax in order to voice their opinions on the issues.
