cket: intro to civil rights
scenario: during wwii, black and white soldiers had to serve in separate troops. black soldiers had outdated
equipment and supplies compared to white soldiers. they were also limited to non - combat support roles and it was hard
for black soldiers to gain leadership positions
this violates the 14th amendment because
the government action that addressed this
drop - down options: white soldiers did not have a choice in their housing situation; black soldiers had a higher survival rate due to non - combat roles; black soldiers had inferior supplies and lack of opportunities

Explanation:

The 14th Amendment guarantees equal protection under the law for all U.S. citizens. The scenario describes Black soldiers being given inferior supplies, restricted to non-combat roles, and denied equal leadership opportunities compared to white soldiers—this is unequal treatment based on race. The correct option directly ties this unequal treatment (inferior supplies and lack of opportunities) to the violation of equal protection.

Answer:

Black soldiers had inferior supplies and lack of opportunities
