Question: 1 / 400

What was the legal outcome of Plessy v. Ferguson?

Ordered all public schools desegregated

Legalized state ordered segregation with equal facilities

Plessy v. Ferguson established the doctrine of "separate but equal" which allowed for segregation of public facilities based on race. This was seen as constitutional and legal until the Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, where the court ruled that segregation in public schools was a violation of the 14th amendment. Option A, ordering public schools to desegregate, goes against the legal outcome of Plessy v. Ferguson. Options C and D are unrelated as they refer to rights of defendants in criminal cases, which was not the subject of Plessy v. Ferguson.
