Comparison of Brown v. Board and Obergefell v. Hodges

In the landmark Supreme Court cases of Brown v. Board of Education (1954) and Obergefell v. Hodges (2015), the Court addressed significant issues related to civil rights and equality in the United States. Brown v. Board of Education ruled that racial segregation in public schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, while Obergefell v. Hodges legalized same-sex marriage, affirming that the right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples under the same clause.

Please compare how these two cases reflect the evolving interpretation of the Constitution and the principle of equality under the law.
