Answer:
In Brown vs Board of Education, the supreme court ruled that black students cannot be segregated from white students because segregation represents a violation of the fourteenth amendment, which establishes equal legal rights for all people, regardless of sex, gender, race or origin.
Before Brown vs Board of Education, schools were segregated under the justification that black people and white people were separate, but equal. This means that if a black school is not worse in terms of qualities and facilities than a white school, then, the black school is achieving its purpose of educating black children, and black children are being protected under the 14th amendment.
Brown vs Board of Education overulled previous decisions in this topic. It relates to the concept of civil rights in that non-segregated education for black people is one of their civil rights, and with Brown vs Board of Education, this right became constitutionally protected.
Answer: A. The Brown case questions whether separate schools based on race inherently render one interior to the other.
Explanation: Since the excerpt from Plessy v. Ferguson is discussing how one race could be politically and socially inferior to another, this answer most logically pinpoints its similarities with the Brown v. Board of Education's premise. The Brown case focuses mainly on determining whether separate schools renders one race inferior to the other or fails to grant equal opportunity to all U.S. citizens.
While Plessy v. Ferguson discusses how officers may be allowed to treat people based on race, Brown v. Board of Education does not ever directly discuss the educators' treatment of students of other races. This eliminates B.
Although Plessy v. Ferguson discusses the rights of minorities to use public services, Brown v. Board of Education does not directly address separate entrances or the usage of water fountains. This eliminates C.
Even though the excerpt from Plessy v. Ferguson discusses the political rights of minorities, and the Brown case does as well, the Brown case focuses primarily on upholding the Fourteeth Amendment's stance on equal opportunity. Both passages do not directly focus on the hindrance of political and intellectual potential of citizens. This helps to eliminate D., which seems like a very good answer.
