Why where Jim crow laws constitutional?

Jim Crow laws were not constitutional. The constitution states that slaves were 3/4's of a person when considering population concerning determining the number of representatives in Congress. This was agreed to because smaller northern states were afraid that the large southern states could control congress through the sheer number of representatives in slave states. The Jim Crow laws are a result of emancipation after the Civil War. The 13, 14, and 15 amendments gave former slaves citizenship, voting rights, and protection in law. Southern whites didn't like the new laws so they began to charge poll taxes, reading tests, and intimidation to keep the former slaves from voting. Combined with the intimidating by the KKK and discrimination in housing, schools, and work this system kept the former slaves from expressing their civil rights for over 100 years.

How did the Jim crow laws get this name?

Jim Crow was an antebellum minstrel show character created by Thomas Dartmouth Rice in the early 1830s. "Daddy Rice" was a white actor who blackened his face with burnt cork and performed a song-and-dance act said to have been inspired by an elderly black man from the South. Rice's tattered costume and exaggerated movements and voice were an insulting parody that brought him international acclaim. The identity of the original Jim Crow, if he did exist, is unknown. Some say he was a slave in Ohio or South Carolina; others believe he may have been a slave owner. One faction holds that the name was derived from the simile "black as a crow." Regardless of its origin, the name "Jim Crow" soon became interchangeable with the word "Negro."
