Question

how did the u.s. supreme court rule in plessy v. ferguson (1896)? it was against the law to segregate people based on race. laws permitting separation are unconstitutional. separation does not necessarily imply any inequality. desegregation was the only option to solve this court case.

Explanation:

In the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson case, the U.S. Supreme Court established the "separate - but - equal" doctrine, ruling that racial segregation laws were constitutional as long as the separate facilities were equal in quality, thus suggesting separation did not imply inequality.

Answer:

C. Separation does not necessarily imply any inequality.
