Detailed Explanation
Matching each landmark United States Supreme Court decision from List I to its core doctrine or legal principle in List II:
- A. Brown v. Board of Education (1954) III. Equal but not separation:
The Supreme Court ruled that state laws establishing racial segregation in public schools were unconstitutional, explicitly holding that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." It effectively overturned the Plessy doctrine, establishing that facilities must be equal, but not separate.
- B. Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) IV. Separate but equal:
This landmark case upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation laws for public facilities under the doctrine of "Separate but equal", provided the facilities for each race were equal in quality.
- C. Reynolds v. Sims (1964) I. One Man One Vote:
The Supreme Court ruled that state legislative districts must be roughly equal in population under the Equal Protection Clause, establishing the famous principle of "One man, one vote" (or one person, one vote).
- D. Miranda v. Arizona (1966) II. Right of Accused during interrogation:
The Court held that the Fifth Amendment protects the rights of an accused person during custodial police interrogation, mandating that suspects must be informed of their rights (the Miranda warning: right to remain silent, right to an attorney, etc.) prior to questioning.
