Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Correct answer:

D. ruled in favor of affirmative action within specified limits.

Details:

The Supreme Court's decision gave some credence to Allan Bakke's claim that the University of California at Davis had practiced some amount of reverse discrimination in denying him admittance to the medical school because he was not an economically or educationally disadvantaged member of one of four racial/ethnic groups eligible for their special admission program.  But the Court was careful to note that race could be considered as a factor (among many factors) in college admissions, if  schools practiced great care in doing so.  Having a basic quota system, such as UC Davis reserving 16 spots out of 100 each year, was considered discriminatory.

The essence of the decision in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke was that the Court upheld affirmative action.  It allowed race to be considered as one of several factors in college admission policy.  But establishing specific racial quotas was an approach that the Court said was not allowable.  

Answer 2
Answer: D. ruled in favor of affirmative action within specified limits.

How did consumers weaken the economy in the late 1920s?

Answers

Consumers were continually buying items on credit as well as taking out loans from the bank to play the stock market. When the stock market crashed in 1929, people were decimated by their financial losses because they were unable to pay back the banks, which caused a bank failure, and could not pay off the items they bought. This caused a nationwide panic and led to the foreclosure of many homes and the unemployment of many others. This triggered the Great Depression.
Consumers brought too many goods they could not afford
