Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Racially restrictive covenants, which are conditions placed on property deeds to restrict sale to people of certain races, are violative of the Fourteenth Amendment as they are discriminatory and have been ruled unenforceable by the Supreme Court in Shelley v. Kraemer (1948). This decision held that while private parties may agree to such covenants amongst themselves, courts could not enforce them without violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
