Question

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Explain two potential problems surrounding the Supreme Court's Plessy vs. Ferguson decision.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Plessy v. Ferguson, legal case in which the U.S. Supreme Court, on May 18, 1896, by a seven-to-one majority (one justice did not participate), advanced the controversial “separate but equal” doctrine for assessing the constitutionality of racial segregation laws.

Answer 2

A case in which the Supreme Court ruled that segregated, "equal but separate" public accommodations for blacks and whites did not violate the 14th amendment.

This ruling made segregation legal.

Some railroad companies were on Plessy's side because they paid too much to maintain separate cars.
