The outcome of court cases surrounding equal protection under the law has significantly advanced civil rights in the United States. Landmark cases such as Brown v. Board of Education and Roe v. Wade challenged discriminatory laws and practices. These rulings established precedents emphasizing that government actions must not discriminate based on race, gender, or ethnicity. Consequently, they contributed to broader movements advocating for social justice and equality, resulting in legislative changes and greater protections for marginalized groups.
