The correct answer is: A.

Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark decision enacted by the US Supreme Court in 1896. It stated that segregation in public facilities did not violate the Consitution, or the equality rights principles introduced by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, as long as such facilities were equal in quality.

In conclusion, Plessy v. Ferguson legitimized segregation practices under the principle: "separate but equal".

In what way did the marbury decision enhance checks and balances

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

Marbury v. Madison was a supreme court case known for establishing the principle of Judicial review in US. Judicial review means that US courts can strike down statutes, laws and other government actions that violate the US constituion. This case is considered to be the one that laid the foundation of US constitutional law. The court's opinion was written by Chief Justice John Marshall.

As per the provision of separation of power the constitution framers wanted the government to have enough powers so that they could run the country but wouldn't be able to abuse it. Thus they developed the provision of separation of power, according to which the power is distributed among the three branches of the the government. So that if one branch of the government tries to abuse their powers others could balance it.

Marbury vs. Madison strengthened this provision as by judicial review the court can control the Congress by declaring laws unconstitutional and illegal.
