Explanation:

On March 12, 1956, a group of senators and congressmen presented to the Congress the Declaration of Constitutional Principles, called the Southern Manifesto. The main author of the document was Senator Sam Ervin. The Southern Manifesto declared the Supreme Court's decision contrary to the constitution, an infringement on the powers of Congress and state law. They expressed support for the racist doctrine of "separate but equal" conditions and pledged to use all legal means to reverse a decision of the Supreme Court.
