In 1–2 sentences, develop an argument to support the concept of judicial restraint in the Supreme Court’s decisions of Plessy v. Ferguson and the concept of judicial activism in the Supreme Court’s decision of Brown v. Board of Education.
The concept of judicial restraint was suitable in the Supreme Court's decision of Plessy v. Ferguson as it allowed the Court to defer to the existing social and political norms of the time, while in the case of Brown v. Board of Education, the concept of judicial activism was necessary to rectify the injustice of racial segregation and promote equal rights.
