1. separate-but-equal doctrine
2. preferred position doctrine
3. Monroe Doctrine
4. Truman Doctrine

Answer 1

The right choice is:

1. Separate-but-equal doctrine

Step-by-step explanation:

In Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, the Supreme Court ruled that separate facilities for whites and blacks , if equal, were not a violation of the US Constitution. For the judges, segregation was not racial discrimination. This is what we call the separate-but-equal doctrine.
