Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The Executive and Legislative Branches have long been reluctant to act on laws that might jeopardize their re-election hopes. Federal court judges and Supreme Court justices are not elected (they are appointed by the President and approved by the Senate), so they have been able to rule in ways that have allowed greater equality and access to rights regardless of race. Brown v. Board of Education (1954) and Regents of the Univ. of Cal. v. Bakke (1978) are two such examples.
