Answer:

2.Plessy was arrested for riding in a ‘whites only’ railroad car, because he was 1/8th black.

3.Plessy argued that the Act violated his 13th & 14th Amendment rights, but he lost in the local court.

4.Plessy appealed the decision and lost again, but took the case to the Supreme Court in 1896.
