During the time of World War II, The president used an executive order to allow the government to exclude those of Japanese descent from any areas officially deemed necessary to US defense. Korematsu violated this order, stating that this was violation of the constitution as he saw it as beyond the president’s war powers. The official decision said that the government had the right to act that way and exclude Japanese people from those areas as it was a time of “emergency and peril”.

Board of Education (1954) UwU https://padlet.com/gbrown3687/2sosorlokkgx/wish/196292848 During the 50’s, there was mass amounts of racism and segregation. Schools were especially segregated and although the term “separate but equal” was used heavily during this time period, Brown argued that things were just the opposite. He argued that  the two races were substantially unequal in their school settings (which went against the law that said they must be substantially equal). The final decision said that this was true, and that blacks must be allowed to mix into the white schools, as the white schools had much better supplies, settings, etc.
