Answer:
A. School prayer was banned in public schools across the United
States.
Explanation:
In the case of Engel v. Vitale (1962), the court defined as contradicting the Constitution the development by a certain agency of the State of New York of the text of the prayer for students of a free high school. Although the prayer was clearly neutral from the point of view of faiths, the Supreme Court firmly stated that officially supported religious events were tantamount to introducing a state religion and therefore contrary to the Constitution.

Answer: option (D). Ex post facto
Explanation: An ex facto is a law that declares someone’s action to be criminal only after it was committed, ex post facto law is considered a hallmark of tyranny because it deprives people of a sense of what behavior will or will not be punished and allows for random punishment at the whim of those in power. It is most typically used to refer to a criminal statute that punishes actions retroactively, it thereby criminalize an action conduct that was legal when it was originally performed. It is a law that criminalizes a conduct that was not criminal when performed, it is used to increase punishment for crimes already committed
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.
