What actions characterize authoritarian governments? Check all that apply.
Nana76 [90]

Answer:

Leaders often seize power by illegitimate means.

A single leader or a very powerful group rules.

Leaders refuse to tolerate dissenting views.

Explanation:

Authoritarian government is the form of government in which one member holds the authority of taking the decisions and its implementation. The participatory role of any other member is restricted in this form of government. The sole authority lies in the single hand. Individual freedom is not given space and the actions and thoughts of the citizens are monitored as per the government rules and guidelines.

Answer:

Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark 1896 U.S. Supreme Court decision that upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the “separate but equal” doctrine. The case stemmed from an 1892 incident in which African American train passenger Homer Plessy refused to sit in a car for blacks. Rejecting Plessy’s argument that his constitutional rights were violated, the Supreme Court ruled that a law that “implies merely a legal distinction” between whites and blacks was not unconstitutional. As a result, restrictive Jim Crow legislation and separate public accommodations based on race became commonplace.
