Which of the following pairs of the United States Supreme Court cases resulted in limiting the power for local governments?

  1. Brown v Board

  2. Plessy & Dred

  3. Texas & Hazelwood

  4. Roe v Wade

The correct answer is: Brown v Board

Brown v Board is the correct answer because it is the only pair out of the options given that resulted in limiting the power for local governments. Both Plessy and Dred Scott cases were significant in defining civil rights and racial segregation, but did not directly address local government power. Texas v Johnson and Hazelwood v Kuhlmeier dealt with freedom of speech and expression and educational authority, respectively, but also did not directly limit local government power. Roe v Wade was a landmark case involving reproductive rights, which also did not address local government power. Overall, Brown v Board was the only case that specifically addressed and limited the power of local governments in the United States.
