Supreme Court Ruling
ReplyDeleteWhat does Unconstitutional mean?
What was the result of the ruling?
What would have happened if the boycotting individuals had used violence?
1.) Not in keeping with the basic principles or laws set forth in the constitution of a state or country.
Delete2.) Rosa Parks took a seat in the front of the bus with E.D. Nixon and Martin Luther King Jr.
3.) They would get in fights and they would probably bomb the whites because the whites bombed them. It would probably not have been successful because they would just arrest people and then there would be no one left to fight for the boycotts.
