During this case, the court decided the New York law was against the Constitution.

In other words, because the first amendment prevents the creation of laws against freedom of speech, the act of censorship based on religious standards was a violation of the first amendment. The court thus decided to nullify the New York law.

This particular case was a landmark for the decline of movie censorship.

madreJ [45]

Answer:

The Brown v. Board of Education was a fundamental role in advancing civil rights because, Linda Brown went to a school with white people. While, she was allowed to go, many white people didn't like her and wanted her out. White people declared that the racial segregation should come into play and, she should leave. When the case came however, the court decided that racial segregation was in fact unconstitutional, which in turn made a huge uproar from the Southerners. While for civil rights it was a enormous step into the right direction for the equal rights that America had promised with their Constitution. This is why Brown v. Board of Education played such a vital role in advancing civil rights.
