Answer 1

Plessy v. Ferguson established the separate but equal doctrine that segregated Black Americans in public spaces.

Explanation: The Court's ruling (upholding Louisiana's Separate Car Act) endorsed "separate but equal," legitimizing state-sponsored racial segregation broadly and undermining equal protection and individual freedoms for Black Americans.
