What was the court’s majority opinion in Plessy v. Ferguson?

1 answer:

6 0

Answer:The court’s decision ruled that the laws of Louisiana were not in conflict with the Constitution. The justices wrote that Plessy’s defense wrongly assumed that separate facilities somehow made one race automatically inferior to another.

Further, they ruled that if one race is already socially inferior to another, there was nothing that the Constitution or other acts of legislation could do to fix that. To this end, the majority opinion states that the Fourteenth Amendment “could not have been intended to abolish distinctions based upon color, or to enforce social, as distinguished from political, equality, or a commingling of the two races upon terms unsatisfactory to either.”

Explanation: This comes directly from the answer.

Other options are incorrect because people who raise objection are also required so that their objection can be considered for betterment of decision.Conformity cannot help in removing group think.Outside experts are already not a part of group.
