A) The constitutional amendment that was used as a basis for the decision in both Brown v. Board of Education (1954) and Hernandez v. Texas (1954) was the 14th amendment (the equal protection clause).
B) Facts in both Brown v. Board of Education and Hernandez v. Texas led to a similar decision in both cases are as follows: Brown v Board was about the segregation regarding the school Ruby Bridges was attending which ultimately led the way to ersticatijg discrimination in schools. They are similar because in the Board of Education case the segregation from the school was in violation of the 14th amendment, while the hernadez case the discrimination the hispanic endured was also in direct violation of the ewual protectuon clause.
C) Both Brown v. Board of Education and Hernandez v. Texas played a role in the push for civil rights as they both helped show the unconstitutionalism that was being shown to colored people. In the Brown case, eventually overturned the separate but equal rule, while the conviction of the defendant in the Hernadez case exposed the unfairness that existed within the justice system as well, as the jury had no hispanic Amerixans involved.

A) A trend that exists in the graphic of cell phone usage to gain information on elections or politics is that some 40 percent of the voters between the ages of 30 thru 49 used their phones to keep up with politics in 2010. A major trend that is evident throughout the graph is that the 2014 year had a significantly higher voting amount compared to 4 years earlier; which is more than likely due to thTo phones being more relied on as of recent.
.B) One similarity that was noticed in the graph is that the 65+ age group that kept up with news on their smartphone was nearly the same amount as all Republicans in the country did regarding their devices. Considering that a significant percentage of the voters are 65+, almost 50 percent of that age voted republican during the last 4 elections, and that there was a democrat in office during these times, its possible to assume that they may have spent some time away from the political media. The factoring of older age, lesser use of technology then other generations, and democrats being in the news alot more around this time, had all had fsctors on the graph results.
C) Media companies and social media can influence a person’s political participation in a number of ways, the medias opinion on voting, the general consensus on specific politics, and the fact that people's opinions having the ability to change because of someone else's actions or words.
