name one instance in which the federal government forced a state to act against its own wishes. write your opinion on weather the federal government's actions were correct. finally, support your opinion with three specific facts.

School desegragation was one of those instances.

Explanation:

With Brown v. Board of Education, and landmark case in 1954, the Supreme Court of the United States, a part of the federal government, in the judicial branch, effectively obliged all states to desegregate schools, on the basis that schools segregation was unconstitutional, even if the schools that existed for black people were equal in quality to the schools that existed for white people (which was not the case anyway).

This decision went against the wishes of most southern states, which wanted to keep school segregation due to the racial prejudices of their leaders.

The federal government, and more specifically, the Supreme Court, was correct in doing so because otherwise, the constitutional rights of black students in southern states would have continued being violated in several states.
