gideon v. wainwright
grutter v. bollinger
hernandez v. texas
clear all

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each case:

• Miranda v. Arizona: About rights during arrest/questioning (Miranda rights), not racial protection.
• Gideon v. Wainwright: Right to counsel for indigent defendants, not racial.
• Grutter v. Bollinger: Affirmative action in law school admissions, not about extending 14th Amend to Mexican Americans.
• Hernandez v. Texas: The Supreme Court ruled the 14th Amendment protects Mexican Americans (beyond white/black racial classes) in this case.

Answer:

D. Hernandez v. Texas
