Answer 1

By expanding equal protection rightsThe Supreme Court decision in Hernandez v. Texas (1954) expanded equal protection rights under the Constitution by recognizing that Mexican Americans and all other racial groups in the United States had equal protection under the 14th Amendment. The ruling held that the systematic exclusion of Mexican Americans from serving on juries violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. This decision was significant in expanding civil rights and ensuring that all racial groups were entitled to equal protection under the law.
