The plaintiff in the case, was seven-eighths white and one-eighth black, and had the appearance of a white man. On June 7, 1892, he purchased a first-class ticket for a trip between New Orleans and Covington, La., and took possession of a vacant seat in a white-only car. Duly arrested and imprisoned, Plessy was brought to trial in a New Orleans court and convicted of violating the 1890 law. He then filed a petition against the judge in that trial, Hon. John H. Ferguson, at the Louisiana Supreme Court, arguing that the segregation law violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which forbids states from denying "to any person within their jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws," as well as the Thirteenth Amendment, which banned slavery.

How many years are between 100 bce & 100 ce? please provide an explanation too
aev [14]

Answer:

199 years

Explanation:

The BCE is known as Before the Common Era, while CE means Common Era. And because the year is counted downwards, 100 BCE to CE is expected to be 100 years. However, because there is no 0 CE, hence that would be 99 years.

Also, adding the next 100 CE years, that will make the total sum of 199 years.

In other words, The calculation is 100 BCE + 100 CE, which equals 200 years. However, there is a need to adjust for the absence of year 0. This is done by subtracting 1 from the answer, hence, 200 minus 1 is 199.
