Question 20 • 670401 American Studies S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

Chief Justice Earl Warren stated, “Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.” What did the use of “inherently” imply about segregation?

Answer
A
By its very definition, it cannot be equal.
B
It is an integral part of American society.
C
Based on its meaning, separation is a natural inclination.
D
It was intended to be a state right, not a national mandate.

Explanation

“Inherently” means by its essential nature or very definition. Warren’s statement therefore means that separating students into different educational facilities makes those facilities unequal, regardless of whether they seem to have equal resources. The correct choice is C, “By its very definition, it cannot be equal.”
