The plessy vs Ferguson case upheld the constitutionality of state laws, like the Jim crow laws, that allowed racial segregation in private business under the doctrine "separate but equal." so basically, it proved that the Jim crow laws were allowed under the constitution.
I have to answer this question for a social studies final: What were the "Jim Crow" laws and what term did the court address and establish as policy for years, starting in 1954 with Plessey vs. Ferguson? I have to have at least to sentences for the answer. And I'm allowed to use the internet. I have "They were state and local laws in the U.S. enacted between 1876 and 1965." That's all I have if anyone can help I would really appreciate it.
Never mind I found the answer. It was "Seperate, but equal"
