Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark 1896 U.S. Supreme Court decision that upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the “separate but equal” doctrine. The case stemmed from an 1892 incident in which African American train passenger Homer Plessy refused to sit in a car for Black people. Rejecting Plessy’s argument that his constitutional rights were violated, the Supreme Court ruled that a law that “implies merely a legal distinction” between white people and Black people was not unconstitutional. As a result, restrictive Jim Crow legislation and separate public accommodations based on race became commonplace.

The correct answer is C. Denied citizenship rights to blacks

Explanation:

Historically, Northerners opposed slavery, which was a common practice in the Southern states. In this context, northerners believed slavers should be freed and they should be given civil rights. Due to this, when Dred Scott, a black slave, tried to sue his master to obtain freedom as he had been in a "free" territory, and the Supreme Court determined rights from the Constitution did not protect black people (including the right to sue) most northerners were angry. This means the Dredd Scott decision angered northerners because it showed during that time black citizens did not have any rights and were not protected by the Constitution (option C).
