Who took a case to Supreme Court in 1896 concerning segregation by railroad companies

History
1 answer:
fiasKO [112]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

This refers to the infamous Supreme Court ruling called Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896).

Explanation:

This ruling upheld racial segregation by the railroad companies and it is considered a big setback on the advances made in giving former slave populations civil rights after the civil war in the United States. This ruling is generally regarded as one of the worst decisions the U.S. Supreme Court has ever made. SCOTUS at that time found that racial segregation policies could be allowed as long as equal quality services were provided to both races. Hence the "separate but equal" idea that shaped public policies towards race in the southern states for decades. It was only with the 1954 case Brown v. Board of Education that the Plessy v. Ferguson case was overruled de facto because the court ruled that "separate but equal" was indeed unconstitutional.

How many people are needed
Neporo4naja [7]

As per various sources, it can be said that, a state has an estimated 60,000 free inhabited population, in order to obtain membership in the union, and the delegates would ensure the admission into the Congress.

The clause 1 of the section 3 in the Article 4 of the Constitution of the United states, provides the authority of admission of states into the union of U.S.A., and all the new states would get representation on par with other states.
This clause also ensures tht, no state can be broken up into new state, by proving Congress the power and the consent from all the states who are going to be affected by the partition.
one of the most significant and notable point of the clause is the equal footing status, that refers to, the new states would get the equal rights and the powers that are provided to the foundational states in 1778.
