Answer 1

The Supreme Court decided in the case Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) that d. separate but equal (segregation) was constitutional. This landmark decision upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine, allowing states to maintain racially segregated public facilities as long as the facilities for both races were considered to be equal.
