The decision of the supreme court in the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson case is important because it
1) upheld the legality of sharecropping
2) denounces the violence of the Ku Klux Klan
3) approved separate but equal facilities for black Americans
4) declared slavery to be illegal.
jeez chill out susan
wikipedia is not a reliable source
The answer is 1. right?
I did read it. I am just confused between 1 and 4 because my teacher was talking about something regarding sharecropping related to Plessy v. Ferguson case today and i didn't get it.
What was the Supreme Court's decision in the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson case?
A.
The Declaration of Independence implies that Americans should be united.
B.
People must be considered equal under the law from the 14th Amendment.
C.
Segregation should be considered a matter for states to decide, not the federal government.
D.
Segregation is permitted as long as equal facilities are provided for both parties.
The correct answer is 3) approved separate but equal facilities for black Americans.
To arrive at this answer, we need to analyze the significance of the Supreme Court's decision in the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson case. Here's an explanation of the case and its implications:
Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark Supreme Court case that dealt with racial segregation. In 1892, Homer Plessy, an African American man, was arrested for refusing to give up his seat in a whites-only train car. Plessy argued that this segregation violated the 13th and 14th Amendments of the United States Constitution, which guaranteed equal protection and rights for all citizens.
In its decision in 1896, the Supreme Court upheld racial segregation. It established the "separate but equal" doctrine, which allowed states to segregate public facilities based on race as long as they provided equal facilities for both African Americans and white Americans. This ruling essentially legalized the practice of racial segregation and allowed for the establishment of Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial separation in various aspects of life, such as public transportation, schools, and restaurants.
Given this explanation, option 3) is the correct answer as it accurately represents the decision and impact of the Supreme Court in the Plessy v. Ferguson case.
You sure didn't get it.
Here's the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article linked above.
"Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896), is a landmark United States Supreme Court decision in the jurisprudence of the United States, upholding the constitutionality of state laws requiring racial segregation in private businesses (particularly railroads), under the doctrine of "separate but equal"."
