Question

What did the Supreme Court case brown vs. board of education determine

Answer 1

The Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education determined that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, and violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The Court declared that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." This decision paved the way for the desegregation of public schools in the United States.

Answer 2

Answer: In this milestone decision, the Supreme Court ruled that separating children in public schools on the basis of race was unconstitutional. It signaled the end of legalized racial segregation in the schools of the United States, overruling the "separate but equal" principle set forth in the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson case.
