The Supreme Court's decision holding segregation in the public schools unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education,(1954) overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine allowed by Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896).
In Brown, the Court ruled unanimously that "separate but equal" was "inherently unequal" in that it denied equal educational opportunities to minorities. The decision in Brown invoked the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause.

The Supreme Court had declared slavery to be legal in every state of the Union, based on their interpretation of the Constitution - that the Founding Fathers would have included slaves in their definition of property when they declared that a man's property was sacred.

This entailed that the Court has the power to determine if a bill passed by Congress and signed into law by the President is in accordance with the US Constitution. By its own power the Court could either declare a law valid and thus "Constitutional" or if invalid, to be reversed.
