Question 1 • MI-Government/Civics 2023

Which statements summarize Justice Brown’s message? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Separation does not necessarily create inequality.
B
Separation implies inferiority.
C
Laws that permit separation can be constitutional.
D
The law cannot permit separation to occur.
E
Separation always creates inferiority.

Explanation

Justice Brown argued that separating the races does not, by itself, mean one race is inferior; he said any sense of inferiority came from how people interpreted the separation. He also upheld laws requiring separation as constitutional, so A and C summarize his message. B and E express the view he rejected, while D contradicts his ruling.
