Was Homer Plessy sent to jail after his trial in the US Supreme Court?
No. Plessy didn't have a trial in the US Supreme Court; they heard an appeal of his case. After the Court made its decision, Homer Plessy was rearrested for the original "offense" on January 11, 1897 (according to a New Orleans warrant) and paid a $25 fine, but was not sent to jail.More InformationThe Supreme Court considered Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896) under its appellate jurisdiction, meaning they reviewed the decisions of the lower courts on appeal, to ensure the Constitution was being upheld, but did not conduct a trial or rule on Plessy's guilt or innocence. By the time the case reached the Supreme Court, the issue under consideration was whether the Louisiana Separate Car Act that required racial segregation in railroad transportation violated the 13th and 14th Amendments of the Constitution.Homer Plessy's trial was before Judge John Ferguson (the Ferguson named in the case) in the Criminal District Court for Orleans Parish. Plessy refused to enter a plea, arguing instead that the Separate Car Act was null and void because it violated his constitutional rights under the 13th and 14th Amendments. He was found guilty without entering a plea.Plessy's attorney then appealed and filed for a writ of prohibition (an order from a higher court to a lower court preventing the court from exercising its jurisdiction) in the Criminal Court of Appeals, then in the Louisiana Supreme Court, and finally in the Supreme Court of the United States.Homer Plessy didn't actually enter a "guilty" plea until January 11, 1897, more than four months after the Supreme Court ruled on his case.Homer Plessy was rearrested for the original "offense" on January 11, 1897, according to a New Orleans warrant, and paid a $25 fine, but was never sent to jail.Case Citation:Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 US 537 (1896)

When did Homer Plessy plead guilty?
Homer Plessy, the Petitioner in the landmark US Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896), was arrested on June 7, 1892 for refusing to remove himself from a "whites only" train car on the East Louisiana Railroad, in violation of Louisiana's Separate Car Act of 1890. Act 111 required passengers to be separated by race and Plessy, who appeared white, was one-eighth African-American. When the conductor asked Plessy to declare his race, Plessy responded that he was "colored." He was promptly arrested and taken to jail in New Orleans, Orleans Parish.Plessy was held at the jail overnight, then processed and released on bail June 8, 1892, after waiving his right to see a judge.On October 28, 1892, Homer Plessy and his attorney, John C. Walker, appeared before Judge John Ferguson in the Criminal District Court for Orleans Parish. Plessy refused to enter a plea, arguing instead that the Separate Car Act was null and void because it violated his constitutional rights under the 13th and 14th Amendments. He was found guilty without entering a plea.Plessy's attorney then appealed and filed for a writ of prohibition (an order from a higher court to a lower court preventing the court from exercising its jurisdiction) in the Criminal Court of Appeals, then in the Louisiana Supreme Court, and finally in the Supreme Court of the United States.According to a New Orleans arrest warrant, Homer Plessy didn't enter a "guilty" plea until January 11, 1897, more than six months after his case had been decided by the US Supreme Court. Plessy paid a $25 fine, but was not jailed.
On what question did the US Supreme Court rule in Plessy v. Ferguson?
The US Supreme Court ruled on the question of whether racial segregation was constitutional under the "separate but equal" doctrine in Plessy v. Ferguson. The Court held that segregation was constitutional as long as the separate facilities provided for different races were equal in quality, thereby establishing the doctrine of "separate but equal." This decision subsequently justified racial segregation and discrimination for several decades.

Is Brown v Board of Education considered judicial activism or judicial restraint?
Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954) has often been cited as an example of liberal judicial activismbecause it ignored the doctrine of stare decisis (Latin: let the decision stand) by overturning the long-accepted "separate but equal" standard established in Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896) and reinterpreting the 13th and 14th Amendments in a manner that supported African-Americans' civil rights.Progressives hasten to point out that Plessy was a bad precedent, and the Warren Court simply corrected social and political biases that were not intended when the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments were ratified. One could just as easily say the Plessy case was an example of judicial activism.Bear in mind that "judicial activism" is an ambiguous concept relative to a person's point-of-view and interpretation of the Constitution, and is the result of subjective judgment both on the part of the justices ruling on a case and on the part of the individuals analyzing the Court's decision

Which supreme court case declared the ''separate but equal'' doctrine unconstitutional?
Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896)The state of Louisiana passed a law requiring separate railroad coach cars for African-Americans and Caucasians. Plessy, who was seven-eighths Caucasian, took a seat in the "whites-only" car, refused to move to the "black" car, and was subsequently arrested.The case was upheld in the lower courts, then petitioned to the US Supreme Court for review in light of the 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause.The Court, in an opinion delivered by Justice Brown, held that state-sanctioned segregation was constitutional, as long as the separate facilities were equal. As precedent, Brown cited both the Civil Rights Cases, 109 US 3 (1883), which determined the 14th Amendment applied only to states, but not to private individuals or businesses, and the fact that Washington D.C. public schools, under the rule of federal government, was already practicing segregation in education. Justice Brown further concluded that segregation in public accommodations did not constitute discrimination.The majority opinion gave rise to the "separate but equal" doctrine that invaded nearly every aspect of African-Americans' lives. Plessy represented the South's reaction to, and contravention of, the 13th and 14th Amendments. The Court's decision gave tacit permission to the establishment of Jim Crow laws, which violated the civil rights of African-Americans in a way not anticipated by the Constitution.This doctrine was held to be unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment in Brown v. Board of Education,(1954).Case Citation:Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896)
