Answer:

d. Segregation in the South was determined to be legal.

Explanation:

In 1892, Homer Plessy, a black man, sat in a "whites only" car of a Louisiana train. But Louisiana had a Separate Car Act (1890), which required separate railway cars for blacks and whites, and Plessy ended up arrested.

In the case, Plessy’s lawyer argued that the Separate Car Act violated the 13th and 14th Amendments, which established absolute equality before the law for people regardless of their origin or race.

However, the Supreme Court considered that segregation did not necessarily imply an inequality toward African Americans, and it wasn't a form of discrimination. Therefore, segregation in the South was determined to be legal.

Why is the term "enlightenment" used in reference to the Age of Reason?
Temka [501]

The correct answer is “They believed the emphasis on the scientific method would bring Europe out of darkness”

The Enlightenment was a period of the rule of the scientific method, it was a moment when the Church lost influence over the academia and the importance of philosophers such as Voltaire, John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, David Hume, Rousseau, Adam Smith, and others.

During this period science was ruling, this way there was a creation of scientific methods, the secularization of learning, religious tolerance - in contrast of the power the Church had before - and separation between Church and State.

There was a thought that rational thought would improve humanity because it did not involve personal interests and beliefs.
