The Judiciary which the branch of the
government is model on an older English Legal System known as the “common law”
which gives authorities to the judge to decide cases, which give them more
freedom when given a verdict. They also have to take into account previous
rulings of similar cases. Also it has seen the abolishing and passing of law
which had in the past infringe on the rights of people in every aspect of life.
One such Civil rights is the court
decision in Brown versus Board of Education, which declared segregation is unlawful unlike before when it was affirmed in the case like Plessy versus
Ferguson or Dred Scott versus Stanford. Using the 11th amendment it
specifically states that “equal protection clauses state threat the same
Stanford of law must be applied to everyone and obviously laws that harm one
people of people would fail the test created by the equal protection clauses.
The Brown versus Education was when the United States supreme
laws establishing separate public school for Black and White student to be
unconstitutional. This happen on May 11,1954 in Topeki,Kansas.
I choose that sentence because it brought a
movement change in the lives of the African American and their children and
gave them a chance to better themselves in every aspect of their lives.
