Why did the Supreme Court take jurisdiction of Brown v. Board of Education?
1.Cases about race relations required government intervention.
2.The public schools in the South lagged behind other regions.
3.The implications of the case were important and widespread.
4.Influential individuals were involved in the case.

The best answer between the choices would be the third one. The implications of the case was important because it argued whether or not the separation of public schools between the black people and the white were constitutional or not. Hope my answers have come to your help.

3.The implications of the case were important and widespread.

The Supreme Court hears cases that address an issue with the Constitution or Federal law. They take cases that have the widest impact on the people of the United States. While the case was about race relations and did require government intervention, the intervention was needed at both the state and federal level. These characteristics made the case important and widespread. While the public schools in the South lagged behind other regions, that was not enough of a reason for the Supreme Court to hear the case. Also, influential individuals should have no bearing on whether or not a case is heard.
