Hey there!

Here is your answer:

<u><em>The proper answer to this question is " for sitting on a whites only railroad car".</em></u>

Reason:

<u><em>African Americans were in violation of restrictions set by Louisiana's Separate Car Act which was made in 1890 and if any African American breaks that violation would be punished with jail time.</em></u>

<em>Therefore the answer is for sitting on a whites only railroad car.</em>

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

<em><u>Homer Plessy was arrested for sitting on a whites-only railroad car". </u></em>

<em><u></u></em>

Further Explanations:

As per Louisiana’s Separate Car act of 1890, separate coaches were allotted to both Whites and black citizens, but whites were granted to sit in the coaches. It was not the same for the black. If a black attempted to sit in the coach of white he was condemned against violating the act.

Case of Homer Plessey was one such instance, who was arrested for occupying the seat of white citizens. The case was millstone for path slavery abolition, as its ruling upheld the racial segregation under the “equal but separate” doctrine. According to the case, the whole incident started Homer Plessey refused to sit and take the car of the blacks that was taken as a violation of constitutional. The Supreme Court implied that the discernment was not unconstitutional and specified it as the legal distinction.

What is each step of a bill becoming a law?
igomit [66]

1. Bill is Drafted: Members of Congress, the Executive Branch, and even outside groups can draft (write or draw up) bills.

2. Introduced in House: Representative introduces the bill in the House. Only members can introduce bills.

3. Sent to Committee: The Speaker of the House sends the bill to a committee.

4. Committee Action: Most bills die here. The committee may pigeonhole, table, amend, or vote on the bill. If bill passes, it goes to Rules Committee.

5, Rules Committee: It decides the rules for debate, and when the bill will come up for debate.

6. Floor Action: House debates the bill, and may add amendments. If a majority votes in favor of the bill, it goes to the Senate.

7. Introduced in Senate: A Senator introduces the bill, which is sent to a committee.

8. Committee Action: Same procedure as in the House. If the committee majority votes for the bill, it goes to the whole Senate.

9. Bill Called Up: Majority floor leader decides when the whole Senate will consider the bill.

10. Floor Action: The Bill is debated, and amendments may be added. If a majority votes in favor of the bill, it is returned to the House.

11. Conference Committee: If the House rejects any of the changes, the bill goes to a conference committee of members from both houses. It works out a compromise.

12. Vote on Compromise: Both houses must approve changes made by the conference committee. If approved, the bill goes to the president.

13. Presidential Action: The president may sign (approve) the bill or veto (reject) it. If approved, it becomes law.

14. Vote to Override: If the president vetoes the bill, it can still become law if two thirds of both houses vote to override the veto.
