the 10th amendment
It wasn't an amendment, but a ruling by the Supreme Court in 1957. It was the Brown v Board of education. It ruled that segregation was illegal and that "separate but equal " wasn't equality.
Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954)Yes. The Supreme Court decision was based on the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court indicated that the decision could also be supported by the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause, but declined to elaborate because the Equal Protection Clause was sufficient to render segregation in the public schools unconstitutional.
second amendment
Thurgood Marshall cited the Fourteenth Amendment, specifically the Equal Protection Clause, to argue that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional because it created a system of unequal educational opportunities based on race. He contended that segregated schools inherently implied that Black students were inferior, violating their rights to equal protection under the law. Marshall emphasized that education is a fundamental right essential for personal and societal development, and any law that enforced racial segregation deprived Black children of that right. Ultimately, he argued that the state-sanctioned separation of students by race was discriminatory and unjust.
