What did supreme court say in its plessy v Ferguson decision?
That segregation laws were constitutional
What case said racial segregation in public facilities was legal?
You are probably thinking of the 1898 Supreme Court case "Plessy vs. Ferguson." It involved a light-skinned black man named Homer Plessy who sat in the "whites only" section of a Louisiana train. He was arrested, and became determined to challenge what he saw as an unjust law. Sad to say, the Supreme Court upheld the segregation of railway cars (and everything else): as long as the facilities were equal for blacks and whites, it was okay to keep the two races separate. Of course, facilities were not equal for blacks-- whites had better schools, better housing, more opportunities to use libraries and other public buildings, etc. But the court had codified segregation, and the decision would not be overturned till 1954's "Brown vs. Board of Education."
What did the court say was inherently unequal in the Brown v Board of Education 1954 case?
In Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court held racial segregation in the pubic schools is unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause and overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine endorsed in an earlier decision, Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896).Case Citation:Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954)
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
