Florida Civics Literacy (FCLE) Practice Exam

Which United States Supreme Court case is correctly paired with the constitutional amendments on which it is focused?

1. Roe v. Wade

2. Brown v. Board of Education

3. Bush v. Gore

4. Miranda v. Arizona

The correct answer is: Bush v. Gore

Context Roe v. Wade, a landmark case on abortion rights, is erroneously paired with the 14th and 15th amendments, which focus on citizenship and voting rights. Brown v. Board of Education is often associated with the 13th and 15th amendments, but the correct pairing is with the 14th amendment, which guarantees equal protection under the law. Miranda v. Arizona, a case on the rights of suspects in police custody, is often linked to the 4th and 5th amendments, but the correct pairing is with the 6th and 14th amendments, which guarantee the right to a fair trial and due process. Bush v. Gore, a highly controversial case on the outcome of the 2000 presidential election, is correctly paired with the 12th and 14th amendments, which detail the process for electing the President and the equal protection of the law. Overall, the correct answer, C, best matches the question by accurately linking the case with the specific constitutional amendments on which it is focused.
