b. "Racial segregation is inherently unconstitutional."
c. "Integration must be enforced immediately without any consideration of equality." d. "States have no authority to regulate segregation in public facilities."

Answer 1

The Supreme Court decided that "separate but equal" facilities were constitutional as long as they were equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 established the doctrine of "separate but equal," which stated that racial segregation was constitutional as long as separate facilities for White and non-White people were equal. The Court ruled that such segregation did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law. This decision upheld the practice of racial segregation and allowed states to continue enforcing laws that required separate facilities for Black and White individuals.
