in 1954 the supreme court decision in the case of brown v. board of education the supreme court ruled that the constitution guarantees equal protection of the law and that segregated schools could never be fully equal. true or false

Respuesta :

True.

Brown v. The Board of Education (1954) was thus an overruling of an older Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which had said that segregation laws were acceptable as long as equal facilities were available.  Brown v. The Board of Education asserted that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal" and thus mandated an end to segregation in education.

Answer:

Plessy v. Ferguson

Explanation:

The Plessy v. Ferguson decision set the standard that separate facilities were Constitutional as long as the facilities were of equal quality.
