Explanation:
The opposition of the segregation argued that the act of segregation is a direct violation of the constitution. This amendment acknowledged black people/former slaves as citizens.
Which means that they should receive the same right as other citizens. Including public facilities.
According to Judges in Plessy v. Ferguson, The act of segregation is not considered as a violation of the amendment. Because the court at that time believe that the black citizens still treated as 'equal' , they're just separated.
This is why the phrase "Separate but equal" become popular after Plessy V. Fergusson.
While I'm not exactly sure which countries you've studies, I can provide you with two main differences between a dictatorship and a democracy.
In a democracy people get to vote where each person gives a vote which is worth something as he/she is a part of nation that decided on their new representative. In dictatorship this is absent. People are not allowed to vote on anything.
Another difference is that in a democracy you have an active government with a elected president. In a dictatorship you have a self-appointed leader of a country which doesn't allow people to tell him how he should run his country.
