Which statement about the Supreme Court is true and played a role in Brown v. Board of Education? A. Congress appoints Supreme Court justices who belong to the majority political party. B. The nine justices must always be unanimous in their decisions. C. The president can replace justices he doesn't agree with. D. A majority of the justices can reverse earlier rulings made by the court.
first one to answer gets it
Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students unconstitutional. The decision overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision of 1896, which allowed state-sponsored segregation, insofar as it applied to public education. Handed down on May 17, 1954, the Warren Court's unanimous (9–0) decision stated that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." As a result, de jure racial segregation was ruled a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. This ruling paved the way for integration and was a major victory of the civil rights movement.
