The correct answer is TRUE.

Plessy v. Ferguson is a case from 1896 which, back then, lead to the enactment of a landmark decision by the US Supreme Court .

The decision allowed the proliferation of segregated public facilities under the belief that, if facilities were equal in quality, such system was not violating the Equal Protection Clause that guaranteed equality of rights for all US citizens. Such clause had been included in the 14th Amendment to the US Consitution, issued in 1868 during the Reconstruction Era.

<u>Through this decision the US Supreme Court accepted the constitutionality of the denominated "separate but equal" lemma and, as a consquence, of segregation. </u>

Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

Confucius’s teachings are better categorized as a philosophy instead of a religion because his teachings were not related to any god, but to ethical, moral and philosophical issues of human beings.

Explanation:

Confucianism is a philosophy based on the teachings of Confucius, who was an important Chinese philosopher. He was a member of the Chinese intellectual and managerial elite, whose students recorded his teachings on proper behavior. It is a complex system of moral, social, political and religious thoughts that has had a major impact on Chinese civilization to this day.

In Confucianism, community is more important than the individual. Man is determined by all his relationships and their truthfulness. They believe in the existence of a universal principle that is the source and purpose of behavior. They believe that the evil that man does is not a sin but a transgression against harmony. The unhappy life of an individual is the effect of evil. The ideal is a man with virtues, and the most important virtues are love to others and justice.
