Vocabulary in Legal Context Answer Key

Students read a passage summarizing the Brown v. Board of Education case, then define and apply vocabulary words such as “plaintiff,” “precedent,” and “unconstitutional.” The activity develops students’ ability to use context clues to interpret key legal and civic terms. It also promotes deeper comprehension of the case’s constitutional arguments and its impact on civil rights law.
