What argument did plessy's legal term make in plessy v Ferguson?
In the case of Plessy v. Ferguson, Plessy's legal team argued that Louisiana's Separate Car Act, which required racial segregation on trains, violated the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. They contended that the law denied Plessy equal protection under the law, as guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. However, the Supreme Court rejected this argument and upheld the constitutionality of "separate but equal" racial segregation.
