Read the following excerpt taken from the US Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). The case coming on for a hearing befo

re the Supreme Court, that court was of opinion that the law under which the prosecution had was constitutional, and denied the relief prayed for by the petitioner. Ex parte Plessy, 45 La.Ann. 80.

JUSTICE BROWN, after stating the case, delivered the opinion of the court.

It was problematic because it enabled segregation. It stated that segregation is not unconstitutional if the state provides completely the same commodities to both groups. That means that people can be segregated based on race into different schools as long as those two schools provided everything equally to every student.

How did writing play a role in everyday life for the ancient Indians? help please I will do anything!!

Its use is not known with certainty and all that we think we know is based on archaeological evidence alone. Some of the seals may have been used as amulets or talismans, but they also had a practical function as a marker for identification. Since writing in ancient times is generally associated with elites trying to record and control transactions, it is also believed that the Indus Script was used as an administrative tool. There are also examples of this script being used on clay tags attached to bundles of goods that were traded between merchants; some of these clay tags have been found in the Mesopotamia region, well outside the Indus Valley, a testimony of how wide goods travelled in ancient times.

Will give brainliest ! lmk your opinion.
Kobotan [32]
In my opinion, I don’t think that the KKK should be allowed to exist because they are so cruel. They frightened and physically hurt black people. The KKK didn't want black people to have equal rights. They have used intimidation, violence, and murder to maintain white supremacy in Southern government and social life.
