Question

question 9 (multiple choice worth 3 points) (mc) how did the u.s. supreme court show a change of interpretation in the case of brown v. board of education? the brown decision completely overturned the decision made in marbury v. madison. the brown decision reversed the decision of plessy v. ferguson for public schools. the brown decision said segregation was legal in the nation when before it had been illegal. the brown decision made all laws related to teaching foreign languages illegal.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: Marbury v. Madison established judicial review; Brown v. Board of Education was about school segregation, so this is incorrect.
• Option 2: Plessy v. Ferguson upheld "separate but equal" in public facilities. Brown v. Board of Education reversed the "separate but equal" doctrine for public schools, showing a change in interpretation.
• Option 3: Brown v. Board of Education ruled segregation in public schools was illegal, contrary to this statement.
• Option 4: Brown v. Board of Education had nothing to do with foreign language teaching laws.

Answer:

B. The Brown decision reversed the decision of Plessy v. Ferguson for public schools.
