Answer

The significance of the Sacco-Vanzetti trial was that it established important legal principles.

Explanation

in the year 1920 two american anarchists who were Italians(Sacco and Vanzetti) were declared guilty of murdering two people in an armed robbery. Which was not true because it is believed that they were convicted because of their political beliefs and their ethnic background. After their trial a series of appeals was filed by the Sacco and Vanzetti defensive committee .The appeal stated very clearly that the two were not involved in the robbery but it was denied.The Sacco and Vanzetti trial clearly showed racial discrimination and highlighted the unfairness in the US legal system towards immigrants.
