What general principle was established with the plessy verse ferguson supreme court decision

Answer 1

The general principle established in the Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision was that segregation based on race was constitutional as long as the separate facilities were equal. This principle, known as "separate but equal," upheld the legality of racial segregation in public facilities, including schools, and remained in effect until it was overturned by the Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954.
