Answer: Brown v Board of education and Plessy v Ferguson
Explanation:
Answer:
Brown v. Board of Education
Plessy v. Ferguson
Explanation:
Brown v. Board of Education (1954)
Issue: Do racially segregated public schools violate the Equal Protection Clause?
Result: Yes. A unanimous Court overturned Plessy v. Ferguson and held that state laws requiring or allowing racially segregated schools violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court famously stated "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal."
Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896), was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation laws for public facilities as long as the segregated facilities were equal in quality, a doctrine that came to be known as "separate but equal".
