Why did thurgood marshall cite the fourteenth amendment to argue that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional? the fourteenth amendment guarantees equal protection under the law. the fourteenth amendment guarantees every child an education. the fourteenth amendment gave african americans the right to vote. the fourteenth amendment formed the basis for plessy v. ferguson.

The correct answer is The Fourteenth amendment guarantees equal protection under the law.

Marshall uses this argument about the segregation in public schools being unconstitutional during the famous Brown vs. Board of Education case (1954). This Supreme Court case was focused on whether or not segregated schools were legal. Based on the condition, materials, and resources available, Marshall discussed how black and white schools were inherently unequal. This lead to unequal opportunites and unequal enforcement of the law. This is why the argued that segregated schools were unconstitutional.

Marshall ended up winning this case, and segregated schools were deemed illegal by the Supreme Court.
