From the supplier: The most problematic aspect of attempting to reconcile Brown v. Board of Education with the Fourteenth Amendment is the formalism involved in assessing Congressional intent in the 1860s. Brown can be supported by analysis of the text of the Equal Protection Clause and the Privileges or Immunities Clause. Requiring that laws be universally equally applicable would not have addressed issues of racial subjugation. The intent of the Fourteenth Amendment must be read as supporting equality and opposing discrimination.
