Can someone help me answer a few questions?

OpenStudy (squirrels):

You should write down the question.

OpenStudy (king.void.):

Post?

OpenStudy (arabpride):

Lelz, I think you mean that he/she should type out the question cx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There's 2 questions. I'm posting them both below. What was the effect of the civilrights decisions of the Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren? Who was affected by these decisions? According to Thurgood Marshall, why was affirmative action necessary?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about the other question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There's not enough info on the 2nd question on the link you sent. BTW I'm still confused on the first one.

OpenStudy (squirrels):

Did you take your time to even read it? :P

OpenStudy (king.void.):

It was a permissible 'remedy' pursuant to the US Constitution's 'due process clause' and 'general welfare clause' for past race based injustices that were at the time unconstitutional but not ruled so due to racism. The counter argument was that you can't 'cure' unconstitutional wrongs of the past by bending the current day Constitution to do so, without having new specific current legislation or amendment Google^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah I'm looking at the info I found out online and in my text book. I just don't know how to answer this question? @Squirrels

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@King.Void. Can you explain it a little more simpler?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@arabpride Do you think you could help me also?

OpenStudy (inowalst):

I would suggest not always trusting sites like Yahoo Answers, just because anyone can write their opinion and even lie, so its best to find a site that's credible.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yea I know @inowalst :) Like that's why I need the help still. Everyone is directing me to Yahoo Answers, but even if I undertstand what was written on the links @King.Void. gave me. I still don't trust it. Like I need a real answer, like a explaination. I don't understand it, and I wish OS was more of a help tonight. Do you know how to explain it to me?

OpenStudy (inowalst):

@TheSmartOne Would you mind helping? I'm not sure about these and I dont want to give out the wrong answer.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks @inowalst :) and same here, better to ask if you don't know right. If @TheSmartOne can't figure it out it's alright. I'll figure it out eventually. I just rather figure this out now; so I move on in my lessons, then wait cause I don't understand the material and fall behind.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Hiya :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So @TheSmartOne Can you help me with the 2 questions I posted above?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Q1) What was the effect of the civilrights decisions of the Supreme Court under Chief Justice Earl Warren? Who was affected by these decisions? https://www.sc.edu/uscpress/books/2004/3563.html So in that link which is trusted because it end with .edu "Warren's tenure saw the Court render decisions that are still hotly debated today. Its rulings addressed such issues as school desegregation, separation of church and state, and freedom of expression." So basically they decided that school segregation was unconstitutional, separated church from state. Many people were effected by this, both black and whites. Blacks were no longer segregated at schools. And some whites ofc were angry that they got more freedom while others were happy that there was more equality for all.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok.. So what about the other question?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Q2) According to Thurgood Marshall, why was affirmative action necessary? So first what does affirmative action mean? Affirmative action or positive discrimination (known as employment equity in Canada, reservation in India and Nepal, and positive action in the UK) is the policy of favoring members of a disadvantaged group who are perceived to suffer from discrimination within a culture. So Thurgood took positive actions to help those who suffered from discrimination. And it says that Marshall worked "through the courts to eradicate the legacy of slavery and destroying the racist segregation system of Jim Crow" Sources: http://www.thurgoodmarshall.com/home.htm

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):
