Wallace uses the argument about states' rights in the US Constitution to support his claim that Alabama has the right to continue policies of racial segregation. He asserts that each state has the authority to determine its own laws and policies, including those regarding segregation. This argument is often grounded in the belief that the federal government should not impose its will on states regarding social and educational policies.
While he may reference historical contexts or cultural perspectives, the key piece of evidence for his claim revolves around this interpretation of states' rights rather than a clear endorsement of any specific previous laws or rulings like Jim Crow laws or the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which actually opposed segregation.
