Question

The Supreme Court struck down state laws in the cases of Brown v. Board of Education and Pavan v. Smith because the statutes in question a. ceded too much power to the federal government. b. denied citizens equal protection of the law. c. were too vague to be appropriately interpreted. d. violated the separation of powers.

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The state laws argued for "separate but equal schooling". It was found that the separate schools (for Blacks and Whites) were very far from equal, meaning that some of the US Citizens were denied the same liberties others got solely for their skin color.
