Solution
The result of the Supreme Court ruling in Texas v. Hernandez was B. The ruling clarified that the Fourteenth Amendment protected members of all racial groups. This case was significant because it extended the protections of the 14th Amendment to people of all racial and ethnic backgrounds, not just African Americans. The court ruled that the Fourteenth Amendment protects those beyond the two classes of white or Negro, and extends to other racial groups in communities depending on whether it can be factually established that such a group exists within the community.
