Answer 2

The correct answer is letter C.

The Equal Protection Clause in the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees to all citizens equal protection of the law, regardless of sex, race, and religion.

In the Plessy v. Ferguson Case, the Supreme Court ruled that “separate but equal” was an acceptable doctrine in regards to racial segregation.

Later, in Brown v. Board of Education the Supreme Court overruled the previous decision by ruling unconstitutional any kind of racial segregation in public schools.

This decision made clear that the Equal Protection Clause should have equal effect in public facilities.
