History

Answer:

Following the end of Reconstruction and the establishment of full citizenship for former slaves, many states started instituting laws that required separate public facilities, such as railroad compartments, for whites and African Americans.

In 1892, a man of mixed race, Homer Plessy, sat down in a whites-only compartment of a railroad car. He was arrested, and each level of the Louisiana court system found him guilty of violating the state’s segregation laws. The state supreme court, however, allowed Plessy’s case to go further in the appeal process.

The case was eventually heard by the US Supreme Court in 1896. The grounds for Plessy’s case rested on the assumption that segregation laws were unconstitutional on the basis of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

The state of Louisiana enacted a law that required separate railway cars for blacks and whites. In 1892, Homer Adolph Plessy-- who was seven-eighths Caucasian-- took a seat in a "white's only" car of a Louisiana train. He refused to move to the car reserved for blacks and was arrested.
QUESTION:
Is Louisiana's law mandating racial segregation on its trains an unconstitutional infringement on both the privileges and immunities and the equal protection clauses of the 14th amendment. (Is it unconstitutional, basically.)
ANSWER: No the state law is within constitutional boundaries. The judges based their decision on the separate-but-equal doctrine (keep in mind this was in 1896), that separate facilities for blacks and whites satisfied the Fourteenth Amendment so long as they were equal.  In this case, they ruled that segregation does not, in itself, constitute unlawful discrimination.

Basically everything about Plessey v. Ferguson.

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Effect: Korematsu v. United States was a Supreme Court case that was decided on December 18, 1944, at the end of World War II. It involved the legality of Executive Order 9066, which ordered many Japanese-Americans to be placed in internment camps during the war.


About 10 weeks after the U.S. entered World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt on February 19, 1942 signed Executive Order 9066. The order authorized the Secretary of War and the armed forces to remove people of Japanese ancestry from what they designated as military areas and surrounding communities in the United States. These areas were legally off limits to Japanese aliens and Japanese-American citizens.

The order set in motion the mass transportation and relocation of more than 120,000 Japanese people to sites the government called detention camps that were set up and occupied in about 14 weeks.

In the space below, answer the following questions. Be prepared to write 250 words.
Airida [17]
1. the role of a woman was at first good in a way because they were with the men out-and-about but later when “homes” were built and they werent like nomadic then women would stay in the house and prepare the food etc, overtime women had been seen as lesser and they were seen as property and nothing more than that, not allowed education just “useful for marriage” basically as time goes on it just gets worse and in america during the 80s n so even before like its still bad because the men are making decisions over abortion still have toxic views against women however now its a bit better but still work to be done ig

2. i think both mother and father are important because the child looks up to the both of them and they see how their mother or father acts and theyll “inherit” their behavior in a way obviously a child doesnt need both because a mom can be both the mother and father and same for the fathers but both influence the way the child acts idk if this helped

3. now women are maybe more “educated” on certain topics? the way the women lived their life whatever they dont like to see in the world theyll make sure their child isnt raised to end up like that

idk if any of this helped
