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.

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

What was the goal of mercantilism? a)to force Native Americans to work in mines and on plantations b)transport slaves from Afric

Kitty [74]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. \ Build \ the \ nation's \ gold \ and \ silver \ reserves \ by \ exporting \ more \ goods \ than \ it \ imported}}$

Explanation:

Mercantilism is an economic policy that thrived beginning in the 1500s. It was one of the driving forces behind colonization and imperialism.

A country wanted to gain as much wealth as possible. One way to accomplish this goal was to implant a favorable balance of trade. This meant the country exported more goods (sold) than it imported (bought). Essentially, the wealth flowing into the nation was greater than the money leaving.

The countries needed a way to create this balance. So, they began to colonize. Colonies were incredibly valuable because they had natural resources. The mother country extracted the resources from the colony, produced goods in the country, and then sold them back to the colony. This practice maximized their wealth, gold, silver, and power.

The best answer choice must be D. Build the nation's gold and silver reserves by exporting more goods than it imported.
