The case coming on for a hearing before the Supreme Court, that court was of opinion that the law under which the prosecution ha

d was constitutional, and denied the relief prayed for by the petitioner. Ex parte Plessy, 45 La.Ann. 80. Whereupon petitioner prayed for a writ of error from this court, which was allowed by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Louisiana. MR. JUSTICE BROWN, after stating the case, delivered the opinion of the court. This case turns upon the constitutionality of an act of the General Assembly of the State of Louisiana, passed in 1890, providing for separate railway carriages for the white and colored races. Acts 1890, No. 111, p. 152. The first section of the statute enacts "that all railway companies carrying passengers in their coaches in this State shall provide equal but separate accommodations for the white and colored races by providing two or more passenger coaches for each passenger train, or by dividing the passenger coaches by a partition so as to secure separate accommodations: Provided, That this section shall not be construed to apply to street railroads. No person or persons, shall be admitted to occupy seats in coaches other than the ones assigned to them on account of the race they belong to." The Supreme Court’s ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson was problematic because the court was not able to overturn the Louisiana state law that required passengers be separated by race. the court did not have any African American justices among its members. it was unclear if Plessy (who was of mixed race) broke the law by sitting in the whites-only coach. it was based on the belief that segregation was permissible as long as the facilities were equal.

The correct option is the last one - <span>it was based on the belief that segregation was permissible as long as the facilities were equal.
According to this excerpt, segregation is okay only if everything is equal for white and black citizens. So they can be separated in trains and other vehicles as long as these vehicles are of equal quality. Obviously, that opinion is problematic which is why segregation was banned many years ago.

Could you bring someone home of a different race to meet your family why or why not?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

I would say that you could but it all depends on how your parents are. I don't think you should judge people based on their race, because your race doesn't define who you are. But some people's parents are against some races so that would affect whether or not they could bring that person home.

Hope this helps:)...if not then sorry for wasting your time and may God bless you:)

I need to do a speech on english pls help
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

Someone I admire is my cousin Laura. She’s five years older than me, so she’s 19 now and she lives in Bristol. She’s very friendly and confident and she’s got long, wavy, brown hair and greeny-brown eyes. She’s medium height, slim and very fit because she’s a dancer.

She’s been dancing since she was six years old and trains every day at her dance school. She wants to be a professional dancer, but it’s a very difficult profession because it’s so competitive. She often dances in shows and I’ve been to watch her several times. Her favourite type of dance is modern, which is sometimes a bit strange, but I love watching her dance.

Laura is very busy because she also studies photography at university. She’s a really good photographer and has taken lots of amazing photos of me and my family. Her photos have won a few prizes and last year one of her photos was in an exhibition at an art gallery in London.

Laura doesn’t have a lot of free time and she’s also trying to learn German because she wants to go to Germany next year to do a photography course. I think Laura is very hard-working and she deserves to become a professional dancer one day.

Which narrative point of view is shown in the passage?
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Third person omniscient point of narration.

Explanation:

The narrative point of view refers to the voice of the narration used, the 'eye' of the narrator through which the readers are seeing the story unfold. This voice is the window through which the outside world, the readers, gain access to the characters and the plot of the story, and be a part of it.

The easiest way to know or identify the narrative voice is to observe the use of the pronouns. Here, the narrator uses "he", "she", "him", "his", "her" a lot. Moreover, the narrator seems to be detached from the whole scene, suggesting he's not part of the story. Also, the ability to see through the feelings and emotions of all of the characters involved makes the narrator an omniscient voice.

Thus, the narrative voice is third-person omniscient. This is when the <u>narrator is not a character in the story and is privy to the feelings and emotions of all the characters</u>.

I am writing a story on drugs and pre-martial sex and i need an opening sentence or sentences.
MariettaO [177]
Add a your thesis statement. Which is what your whole story is about. So, the introduction could sound something like this.
“Drugs and pre-marital sex are very common in today’s world. They seem to be around just as much as anything else. (insert thesis here; for example if your story was about what makes them so common, you could say...) But what makes these two vastly different actions so common?
