I WILL MARK BRAINLEST The passage below describes a U. S. Supreme Court decision:

In 1940, the Texas Democratic Party refused to give an African-American man a ballot to select candidates to run for Congress and governor.

In finding this action unconstitutional, the U. S. Supreme Court stated “…this Court is not constrained to follow a previous decision which…, involves the application of a constitutional principle, rather than an interpretation of the Constitution to evolve the principle itself.”
