Question 9 • 11011de2 CONNECTED Fall 2026 NM-US History and Geography S2

Which of the following is true about Earl Warren’s role in the Brown decision? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
He argued for desegregation.
B
He was unable to persuade some of his colleagues to his argument.
C
He wrote the court’s opinion in the case.
D
He had already heard the argument in a lower court.

Explanation

Earl Warren supported desegregation and worked to build agreement among the justices in Brown v. Board of Education. He also wrote the Court’s unanimous opinion, which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. He persuaded his colleagues rather than failing to persuade them, and he had not heard the case in a lower court.
