Final answer:

The Supreme Court used judicial review to end segregation in public schools.


Explanation:

The statement that accurately describes a Supreme Court power that played a role in ending segregation in public schools is:

  1. The court determines the constitutionality of laws and previous legal rulings.

This power, known as judicial review, allows the Supreme Court to assess the constitutionality of laws and decisions, enabling them to strike down those that violate the Constitution. An example of this was the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, where the Court declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional, overturning the Plessy v. Ferguson decision.
