2. The Brown v. Board of education case was a case of civil rights. The case came about because a black girl had to walk a mile away to get to her black elementary school when she lived just down the road from a white school that wouldn't accept her. The point of the case was to try and take a stand against segregation especially in the public schools. The ruling on the case was that there could be no more segregation in the public schools. From this ruling legislation was put into place and a stand against segregation was made that day.
4. The Miranda v. Arizona was a case involving the fifth amendment. The case was trying to prove that suspects need to be informed of their rights in order not to give incriminating evidence against themselves. Miranda was charged with molesting a young girl and was convinced to give a confession to the police without his lawyer and without being aware of his rights. He took it to court to prove that the information gained was unusable against him in court because he was not informed of his rights. Because of this case, from then on officers were required to give every suspect their "Miranda Rights" in order to use confessions and the suspects words against them in court.
6. The 15th Amendment was put in place to ensure that all Americans were able to vote and nothing could take that away from them. This amendment was made to ensure all citizens black white or Hispanics could vote. The reasons this amendment was put into place was to ensure that the minorities were not threatened or kept from voting at any time and that all men had the same right to vote on any election at any time.
8. The 19th Amendment was to ensure women's rights were the same as men's. The reason this amendment was made was to ensure that all women had all the same rights as all men did. They pursued putting this into place because it wasn't fair for the women of america not to be able to work or vote when the constitution says we all have the same rights. There were many women who strongly urged and protested this idea for many years. Because of this Amendment now not only could African Americans vote but Both white and black women could vote too. This meant that more than half the population could vote now. Or at least hypothetically.
