Key Figure Description:
1. Emmett Till - started the bus boycott protests to end racial segregation within the Montgomery public transit system.
2. Rosa Parks - refused to give up her seat for a White American on a Montgomery, Alabama bus, initiating a yearlong boycott that led to the end of segregation of public transportation in Alabama.
3. Martin Luther King Jr. - led the Montgomery Bus Boycott and gave a speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom that applied political pressure to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965.
Based on these descriptions, the chart that best describes the key figures would be:
Emmett Till
Rosa Parks
Martin Luther King Jr.
Therefore, the correct answer is the chart that includes "Emmett Till, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr." as the key figures.
The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, granted Black Americans citizenship and equal protection under the law. It extended civil rights by prohibiting states from denying any person within their jurisdiction equal protection of the laws. This meant that Black Americans were entitled to the same legal protections and rights as white Americans.
However, the Fourteenth Amendment also had limitations. It did not address social or economic inequalities faced by Black Americans, nor did it explicitly address racial segregation. It was primarily focused on providing legal protections against discrimination by the government. The amendment also contained a clause, known as the "state action doctrine," which limited its application to actions taken by state governments, rather than by private individuals or entities.
In summary, while the Fourteenth Amendment extended civil rights by granting Black Americans citizenship and equal protection under the law, it had limitations in its scope and did not address all forms of inequality and discrimination.
This ruling had a detrimental effect on individual freedoms and equal protections for Black Americans. The "separate but equal" doctrine perpetuated racial segregation, leading to the establishment of separate and inherently unequal facilities such as schools, transportation, and public spaces. This segregation denied Black Americans equal access to resources, opportunities, and public services.
The Plessy v. Ferguson ruling further entrenched racial discrimination and facilitated systemic racism, creating a legal framework for the Jim Crow era. It reinforced a culture of racial hierarchy and contributed to the marginalization, oppression, and limited freedoms experienced by Black Americans.
It was not until the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case in 1954 that the Supreme Court overturned Plessy v. Ferguson, recognizing that separate facilities were inherently unequal. The ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson left a lasting legacy of inequality and demonstrated the urgent need for the advancement of civil rights and equal protections for all individuals.
One way to develop a logical argument about how judicial restraint supports the decision is by highlighting how the Court relied on a strict textual reading of the Constitution. In Plessy v. Ferguson, the Court argued that the Equal Protection Clause only required equal treatment under the law, not social or political equality. They reasoned that as long as the segregated facilities for Black and white individuals were separate but equal, they complied with the Constitution.
Furthermore, proponents of judicial restraint could argue that the Court considered the historical context and deference to legislative judgment. They may claim that the Court believed that the legislatures responsible for implementing racial segregation laws were within their constitutional authority and that challenging those laws would have been an overreach of judicial power
