c) the voting rights act of 1965

d) brown v. board of education

I had the same question. It is not B it is D.

The correct answer is D): Brown v. Board of Education.

The Brown v. Board of Education started in 195O. It involved an African American student called Linda Brown who wanted to enter an all-white school. Her request was denied.

Although a previous case had settled the precedent that education should be separate but equal, Brown claimed that this was being violated as this was absolutely not the case.

In 1954 the Court´s verdict was to agree with the Browns by following the 14th Amendment which said they should be treated equally and ordered desegregation at schools. Nevertheless, it did not specify how this should be done.

After this verdict, Georgia refused to follow it. Therefore, in 1960, the Sibley Commission was founded by John Sibley in order to ask people what their feelings were about the desegregation verdict. The majority of the citizens were against it and they claimed they preferred that the schools were closed.

Consequently, the Sibley Commission let each district choose whether they wanted to integrate students or not.

i confess that there are several parts of this constitution which i do not at present approve, but i am not sure i shall never approve them: for having lived long, i have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which i once thought right, but found to be otherwise. it is therefore that the older i grow, the more apt i am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others.

the nationalists wanted a strong central government so the new country wouldn't fall apart.
