What was the primary outcome of the Plessy v. Ferguson decision in 1896?

History

Answer:

The answer is that it upheld Jim Crow laws and segregation in the South.

Explanation:

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.

What would be the reactions of today's society if the Sons of Liberty had done the Boston Tea party now? Would everyone support
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The ideas behind the Boston Tea Party can still be seen in politics today. The Sons of Liberty were angry about unfair government, so they protested through the destruction of government property. If, in modern day, the government was as unfair as it was during colonial times then these forms of protest would surely be popular. However, it is extremely unlikely that everyone would support it. Even back at the real Boston Tea Party a group called the loyalist did not support the Sons of Liberty. Similar groups would most likely form that would also disagree with a modern-day Boston Tea Party.
