Question

in the plessy v. ferguson what was the verdict including numbers and outliers

Answer 1

Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court by a 7–1 vote, with one justice not participating. The Court’s majority (opinion by Justice Henry B. Brown) upheld Louisiana’s segregated “separate but equal” railway car law. The lone dissenter was Justice John Marshall Harlan, whose famous dissent argued the Constitution is “color-blind” and that segregation stamped Black citizens with a badge of inferiority. The decision was effectively overturned by Brown v. Board of Education (1954).
