12. What was the main flaw of the Supreme Court's reasoning in Plessy v. Ferguson?
i need answers
The main flaw of the Supreme Court's reasoning in the Plessy v. Ferguson case was the establishment of the "separate but equal" doctrine, which allowed for racial segregation as long as the separate facilities were deemed equal in quality. This decision upheld racial segregation and perpetuated inequality, despite violating the principle of equal protection under the law guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment.
The main flaw of the Supreme Court's reasoning in Plessy v. Ferguson was the establishment of the "separate but equal" doctrine. The court held that racially segregated public facilities were constitutional as long as they were equal in quality, thus justifying racial segregation. This flawed reasoning perpetuated racial discrimination and inequality, and it took several decades before it was eventually overturned by Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.
I agree with your answers.
