in 1896, the supreme court issued its decision in plessy v. ferguson. justice henry brown of michigan delivered the majority opinion, in part, he said:

“we consider the underlying fallacy of the plaintiff’s argument to consist in the assumption that the enforced separation of the two races stamps the colored race with a badge of inferiority. if this be so, it is not by reason of anything found in the act, but solely because the colored race chooses to put that construction upon it… the argument also assumes that social prejudice may be overcome by legislation, and that equal rights cannot be secured except by an enforced commingling of the two races… if the civil and political rights of both races be equal, one cannot be inferior to the other civilly or politically. if one race be inferior to the other socially, the constitution of the united states cannot put them upon the same plane.”

based on the passage, why was the jim crow law upheld?

a. social inferiority is determined by the constitution

b. laws can change social prejudice

c. civil and political rights of blacks and whites are equal

d. blacks and whites should not be separated

On the basis of Judge Browne's statement that presupposes the fellacy of the Prosecutor's argument, we can conclude that the decision of the Supreme Court in Plessy vs. Ferguson in 1896 is not about putting the black race in an inferior position due to forced separation in public objects, as long as these facilities are of the same quality. If there is social prejudice, the blacks created it by putting themselves in an inferior position.

On the basis of all this Jim Crow's law is accepted because it provides equal conditions to all races according to the principle: separated but equal.

This law provided for separate cars for blacks or their accommodation behind the partitions.

The right answer is C. Civil and political rights of blacks and whites are equal.

Hi there!

The correct answer is C) Civil and political rights of blacks and whites are equal.

Explanation:

Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation in the South of the U.S. He mandated racial segregation in all aspects and they were upheld until 1896 and were followed by the "separate but equal" doctrine, which guaranteed equal protection under the law to all people.  

Segregation is defined as the act by which someone separates other people on the foundation of one of the enumerated grounds with an objective or any reasonable justification. Plessy v. Ferguson, a landmark decision of the U.S. upheld this racial segregation laws for public facilities as long as these facilities were equal in quality.

Although these laws guaranteed these equality between races, the social prejudice of black people was badly seen for the rest of the society (white people). This did not guarantee this "social equality", because this is built by society not by law. If white people did not considered black people as equal to them, the law could not do anything about it. The law only covered civil and political sameness.

payments were made after the 1940s.
