Detailed explanation-1: -On May 2, 1954, under Chief Justice Earl Warren, who was governor of California during the Mendez v. Westminster case in 1947, the Court unanimously ruled that the 14th Amendment protects those beyond the members of the “two class theory” and that Mexican Americans were a “special class” in Jackson County, Texas.
Detailed explanation-2: -In Hernandez v. Texas, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment applied to all racial and ethnic groups facing discrimination, effectively broadening civil rights laws to include Hispanics and all other non-whites.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Court held that Mexican Americans were “a class apart, ” a distinct group entitled to the same constitutional protections as other minorities under the Fourteenth Amendment. Pete Hernandez received a new trial with a jury that included Mexican Americans, and was again found guilty of murder.
Detailed explanation-4: -13. What arguments did the state of Texas use in its response? The state argued there was no attempt to discriminate and that it was just a coincidence that no Hispanics had served on a jury in Jackson County.
