Question

match each claim on the left to its counterclaim on the right.
states have the right to maintain racial segregation.
segregation allows for separate but equal status of people.
true brotherhood is respecting the rights of others.
involuntary segregation does not respect the rights of individuals.
people cannot be equal if they are separated in public places.
states cannot decree laws against segregation

Explanation:

1. The claim that states may maintain racial segregation counters the argument that involuntary segregation violates individual rights, as the counterclaim rejects segregation's validity on this basis.
2. The claim that segregation allows separate but equal status counters the argument that separation in public spaces makes equality impossible, as the counterclaim directly undermines the "separate but equal" premise.
3. The claim that true brotherhood means respecting others' separateness counters the argument that states cannot defy federal anti-segregation laws, as the counterclaim frames respect for separation as a value, opposing federal mandates against segregation.

Answer:

1. "States have the right to maintain racial segregation" → "Involuntary segregation does not respect the rights of individuals"
2. "Segregation allows for separate but equal status of people" → "People cannot be equal if they are separated in public places"
3. "True brotherhood is respecting the separateness of others" → "States cannot disobey federal laws against segregation"
