The correct answer is: "It accepted the constitutionality of the 'separate but equal' and allowed the proliferation of segregated public facilities".

The Plessy v. Ferguson case led to the enactment of a landmark Supreme Court decision in 1896.

Such decision allowed the proliferation of segregated schools and the constutionality of the "separate but equal" principle under the belief that, if facilities were equal in quality, such education system was not violating the equality of rights provision that had been guaranteed for all US citizens by the Reconstruction Amendments to the US Constitution.

Why were civil rights supporters disappointed with the Supreme Court’s 1896 decision in Plessy v. Ferguson?

The civil rights supporters were disappointed with the supreme court’s decision of 1896 on the Plessy vs. Fergusson case as the Supreme Court affirmed the idea of ‘separate but equal’ which meant that racial segregation in the United States could be allowed as long as both races had access to facilities that would be equal in quality to each of their counterparts.

Further Explanation:

The background to the Plessy vs. Fergusson case was deeply rooted within racial segregation in the United States of America that denied facilities and opportunities to African Americans, and were normally given to their ‘racially superior’ Anglo Americans. An African American passenger, Homer Plessy was convicted for violating the Separate car Act in Louisiana n 1892, by allegedly refusing to travel in a coach meant for black Americans. He appealed to the Supreme Court, claiming a violation of his constitutional rights was caused under the Fourteenth Amendment Act, however, the Supreme Court ruled that a law that merely implied the legal distinction between the Blacks and Whites could not be deemed unconstitutional. Thus, the idea of ‘separate but equal’ was born, and separate carriage cars for Blacks and Whites had to be provided, with similar facilities. This was extended to other public facilities, including educational institutions. During the next few years, the Northern States maintained a somewhat casual attitude to the horrifying psychological and sociological implications of racial segregation, however, the African Americans of the Southern States mounted up a resistance against the regulations imposed in the Jim Crow Era.

How did the us and russia differ in their plans for germany?
Ymorist [56]
If you're referring to the post WW2 period, then it was fairly simple, the United States wanted to create a democratic liberal country that would share their political goals in Europe, while the Soviets wanted to make it into a Communist state that would share their goals and ideals in Europe. Each would have their own central European country to control the remainder of Europe.

What is the primary issue with a one party system?
Bad White [126]
The primary issue with a one party system is the suppression of individual rights and no democratic rights.


In a one-party system, like the one in Communist China, the people have no voice in how the country is run. One political party makes all the decision without any opposition in the parliament.

From the perspective of human rights, this will lead to dictatorship and a curb on freedom of speech.
