1.What is the basic decision that was handed down in Brown v. Board of Education?
2. What does 鈥渟eparate but equal鈥?mean?
3. Which amendment is said to be violated by the institution of "separate but equal" learning facilities?
4. How does Brown v. Board of Education relate to Plessy v. Fergusen? Brown v. Board of Education, a side bar
Brown v. Board of Education was about the inequality for white and black schools but also almost all special education law can be traced back to Brown v. Board of Education You would learn more if you researched this READILY ACCESSIBLE information yourself instead of coming here and expecting harder working folks to do your homework for you. Exercise that powerful brain of yours. There will be toilet tissue in all bathrooms in every stall!! Gee, this reminds me of another question this evening. The answers are so simple any ten year old can figure it out. So, next time I see a ten year old, I'll ask him and get back to you. 1.That the system of setting two schools systems, one for
whites and one for blacks was against the law.
2. Even if both systems were equal, which for blacks was never the case, it's still was against the law.
3. One schools for whites, one schools for black
4. Brown v Board of Education was about education, Plessy v Ferguson was a public accommodations. This meant that blacks did not have to sit in the back of the bus, be served at lunch counters, Sadly this was not enforced until the civil right movements of the 60's I managed the numbers,then i got stuck. Sorry friend too heavy for me. Regards; 1) Schools must be desegregated
2) Seperate facilities based on race are acceptable only if they are "equal"
3) the 14th (no state shall deny to any person the equal protection of the law)
4) Brown "overturned" Plessy as far as schools are concerned although cases like Green, Cooper v Aaron, and Heart of Atlanta were needed to expand and enforce it. 1. The basic decision is that race-based segregation in education violates the 14th amendment rights of minority students.
2. "Separate but equal" was the legal standard that predated Brown v. Board of Education. Adopted in Plessy v. Ferguson, an old railroad case, it was the old standard that segregation was permissible under the 14th Amendment provided that whites and blacks were provided equal, though separate, accommodations. In essence, Brown v. Board of Education rejected Plessy's holding by arguing that the "separate but equal" standard serves to promote continued inequality between whites and blacks in the education context, for it perpetuated a notion of black inferiority that hindered the performance of young black students going through school.
3. As noted above, the 14th Amendment.
4. As noted above, Brown v. Board fo Education effectively overturned the Plessy holding of "separate but equal." 1. All students have a right to the same basic education with the taxpayers money.
2. The theory was that even though the coloreds(their words,not mine) were in a different school they got just as good of and education. This of course was way wrong.
3. 16th and 24th
4. Plessy was not allowed to ride in a whites only railroad car even though the same fare was paid, seperate but equal applied yet again. Ok let me answer this simply. Brown V. Board of education decided that seperate was automatically unequal.
2. Seperate but equal means seperate facilities of the same quality.
3. That would be the 14th amendment which said "no state shall.....deny to any person within it's jurisdiction the equal protection of it's laws."
4. Brown V. Board of education overturned Plessy V. Ferguson. Plessy V. Ferguson stated that states could have seperate but equal facilities. Go to any major search engine, and enter "Brown v Board of Education". Read five articles. Develop your own understanding. the 1954 brown vs. board of ed. stated that the 1896 case plessy vs. Ferguson was unconstitutional!!!
1896 stated separate but equal, brown proved that separate wasn't equal, thus ending segregation.
that's in a nutshell.... need more info? do research!!!!! On May 17, 1954, the United States Supreme Court announced its decision that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." The decision effectively denied the legal basis for segregation in Kansas and 20 other states with segregated classrooms and would forever change race relations in the United States. This site is a resource for information and source material about Brown v. Board of Education.
Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954),[1] was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court, which overturned earlier rulings going back to Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, by declaring that state laws which established separate public schools for black and white students denied black children equal educational opportunities. Handed down on May 17, 1954, the Warren Court's unanimous (9-0) decision stated that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." As a result, de jure racial segregation was ruled a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This victory paved the way for integration and the Civil Rights Movement.
Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896), was a landmark United States Supreme Court decision in the jurisprudence of the United States, upholding the constitutionality of racial segregation even in public accommodations (particularly railroads), under the doctrine of "separate but equal".
The decision was handed down by a vote of 7 to 1, with the majority opinion written by Justice Henry Billings Brown and the dissent written by Justice John Marshall Harlan, (with Justice David Josiah Brewer not participating in this case). "Separate but equal" remained standard doctrine in U.S. law until its final repudiation in the later Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education (1954).
The landmark Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education (1954) settled the question of whether or not blacks and whites can receive an education integrated with or separate from each other. The case overturned the 1896 case of Plessy v. Ferguson, which established the doctrine of "separate but equal." This concept stated that separate public facilities of equal quality do not violate the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, which reads:
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Linda Brown was an eight year old black child who had to cross Topeka, Kansas to attend grade school, while her white friends were able to attend classes at a public school just a few blocks away. The Topeka School system was segregated on the basis of race, and under the separate but equal doctrine, this arrangement was acceptable and legal. Linda's parents sued in federal district court on the basis that separate facilities for blacks were inherently unequal. The lower courts agreed with the school system that if the facilities were equal, the child was being treated equally with whites as prescribed by the Fourteenth Amendment. The Browns and other families in other school systems appealed to the Supreme Court that even facilities that were physically equal did not take into account "intangible" factors, and that segregation itself has a deleterious effect on the education of black children. Their case was encouraged by the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and was argued before the Supreme Court by Thurgood Marshall, who would later become the first black justice on the Supreme Court. |
