Answer:
See below
Explanation:
The question was that could federal courts constitutionally authorized to oversee and produce remedies for state-imposed segregation?
“the Court held that once violations of previous mandates directed at desegregating schools had occurred, the scope of district courts' equitable powers to remedy past wrongs were broad and flexible. The Court ruled that
1) remedial plans were to be judged by their effectiveness, and the use of mathematical ratios or quotas were legitimate "starting points" for solutions;
2) predominantly or exclusively black schools required close scrutiny by courts;
3) non-contiguous attendance zones, as interim corrective measures, were within the courts' remedial powers; and
4) no rigid guidelines could be established concerning busing of students to particular schools.”
So in other words
“The Court held that busing was an appropriate remedy for the problem of racial imbalance in schools, even when the imbalance resulted from the selection of students based on geographic proximity to the school rather than from deliberate assignment based on race. This was done to ensure the schools would be "properly" integrated and that all students would receive equal educational opportunities regardless of their race.”
