"The precedent overturned state laws based on an interpretation of the Constitution."
Explanation: Brown v. Board of Education (1954) relied on the Constitution (the Fourteenth Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause) to strike down state laws and practices that mandated racial segregation in public schools. That decision illustrates federal judicial power to invalidate state laws that conflict with constitutional rights, a key aspect of American federalism.
