Answer:

Thirteenth and fourteenth Amendment is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plassey vs. Ferguson was US supreme court case in which the supreme court ruled that segregation was legal only if the equal facilities are provided to both the races. It was the case against the Louisiana law in which whites and blacks had to ride on different trains but the train cars were required to be equal. When Homer Plassey was arrested for riding the whites-only car as his grandparents were black, he challenged the law saying that it was unconstitutional. He claimed that the segregate trains of East Louisiana railroad had denied him the rights mentioned under the thirteenth and fourteenth Amendments
