Question

read the excerpt from the fourteenth amendment to the constitution.
no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the united states...
how does the excerpt relate to the premises of brown v. board of education?
○ the brown case addresses whether separate water fountains and entrances abridge students’ privileges.
○ the brown case addresses whether education systems separated by race limit citizens’ privileges.
○ the brown case addresses whether varied state curriculums inhibit students’ ability to learn.
○ the brown case addresses whether teachers’ racial stereotyping restricts students’ rights and privileges.

Explanation:

The 14th Amendment excerpt prohibits states from making laws that abridge U.S. citizens' privileges or immunities. Brown v. Board of Education centered on state-enforced racial segregation in public schools, arguing this system violated the equal protection component of the 14th Amendment, which ties to restricting citizens' privileges. The correct option directly links the case's core issue of racially separated education systems to the amendment's protection of citizens' privileges.

Answer:

The Brown case addresses whether education systems separated by race limit citizens' privileges.
