Explanation:

The Plessy v. Ferguson decision in 1896 upheld the "separate but equal" doctrine, which allowed racial segregation to continue and limited African - American rights. It did not stop states from creating segregation laws, nor did it find the Fourteenth Amendment unconstitutional. Instead, it established a precedent that segregation laws could be constitutional as long as the separate facilities were equal (though in practice they rarely were).

Answer:

1. It allowed the policy of "separate but equal" to continue.
2. It limited the rights of African American citizens.
3. It established a new precedent in declaring the law constitutional.
