Answer 2

The Fourteenth Amendment affected many court cases, such as Brown v. Board of Education

Explanation:

• Brown versus. Topeka Education Board was a hallmark case of the 1954 Supreme Court wherein which the judges unanimously found racial segregation of children at public schools was the unconstitutional . This case was one of the cornerstones of the fight for civil rights, seeking to create the principle that 'separate but equal' education and other facilities are not exactly the same.
• In his lawsuit Brown claimed that Black Children's schools had not been the object of the White School, and that segregation violated the 14th Amendment's (that all citizens were given a citizenship to all persons who were born or naturalised in the United States including the former slaves) so-called "equal protection" clause which states that "No State can deprive any individual" within their jurisdiction the laws' equal protection.
• The court held in the judgment of 17 May 1954 that "the education 'separate but equal' does not have any place in the domain of education,' because separate schools are 'inherently unequal.' As a result, the Court held that the complainants were being 'deprived of equal treatment under all laws provided in the 14th amendment.
