In the Plessy vs Ferguson case, the surpreme court ruled the "Separate but equal" law in which segregation was allowed but they had to have equal privileges. Example you could separate people in different train cars, but they had to both be comfy and Clean.

The Plessy vs. Ferguson ruling said that separate, segregated public facilities were acceptable and legal as long as the facilities offered were equal in quality.  

Further details:

Homer Plessy is the man behind the famous Supreme Court case, <em>Plessy v. Ferguson.</em>  The state of Louisiana had passed a law in 1890, segregating blacks from whites on public transportation.  In 1892, Plessy, who was 1/8 black, bought a first class train railroad ticket, took a seat in the whites only section, and then informed the conductor that he was part black.  He was removed from the train and jailed.  He argued for his civil rights before Judge John Howard Ferguson and was found guilty.  His case went all the way to the Supreme Court which at that time upheld the idea of "separate but equal" facilities.

Several decades later, <em>Plessy v. Ferguson </em>was overturned.  <em>Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka</em>, decided by the US Supreme Court in 1954, extended civil liberties to all Americans in regard to access to education. Until that decision, it was legal to segregate schools according to race, so that black students could not attend the same schools as white students.  The older Supreme Court decision,<em> Plessy v. Ferguson</em> (1896), which had said that separate but equal facilities were okay, was thus challenged and defeated by <em>Brown v. Board of Education.</em>  Segregation was shown to create inequality, and the Supreme Court unanimously ruled segregation to be unconstitutional.

1. What rights or power did women have in early Japan? How did this change over time?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

While women in Japan were recognized as having equal legal rights to men after World War II, economic conditions for women remain unbalanced.[3] Modern policy initiatives to encourage motherhood and workplace participation have had mixed results.[4]

While a high percentage of Japanese women are college graduates, making up 77% of the part-time work force,[5] they typically earn 27% less than their male counterparts.[6] Traditional expectations for married women and mothers are cited as a barrier to full economic equality.[7] The monarchy is strictly males-only and a princess has to give up her royal status when she marries a commoner.
