Answer 1

D. Fourteenth Amendment

In the landmark case Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the "separate but equal" doctrine did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment, which addresses citizenship rights and equal protection under the law. The Court upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation laws for public facilities as long as the segregated facilities were equal in quality.
