Question

In one or two sentences develop an argument to support the concept of judicial restraint in the Supreme Court's decisions of Plessy V Ferguson and the concept of judicial activism in the supreme court's decision of brown v board of education

Answer 1

Judicial restraint is evident in the Supreme Court's decision of Plessy v Ferguson as the Court upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation, adhering to the original intent of the Fourteenth Amendment, while judicial activism is evident in the Court's decision of Brown v Board of Education as it overturned legal precedent and pushed for desegregation, expanding the interpretation of equal protection under the law.
