A.
Increase in state control of social
Welfare programs b. The desegregation of public schools

Answer 1

The equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment was most clearly responsible for **b. The desegregation of public schools**. This clause has been pivotal in Court cases, such as Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, which declared that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, thus leading to the desegregation of those institutions.
