Any ideas on what the scale might look like for this question?
I had something along the lines of..
Side A -- Shelley v. Kramer was crucial to Brown v. Board of education success (legal scholars)
Side B -- ??
basically the whole passage seemed like it was elaborating on the first paragraph's statement of "preliminary tests of legal strategies and early erosions of the foundations of discrimination against African Americans paved the way for success in Brown".
