what was the verdict of the case of plessy v. ferguson (1896)?
the supreme court ruled that segregation with \separate but equal\ facilities was constitutional.
the court ruled that segregation was inherently unequal, and thus was unconstitutional.
the case ruled that african americans could ride in any train car they chose, in any section.

Explanation:

To determine the verdict of Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), we recall historical context: Plessy v. Ferguson established the "separate but equal" doctrine, ruling that racial segregation in public facilities (with "separate but equal" provisions) was constitutional. The second option describes Brown v. Board (which overturned Plessy), and the third is incorrect as Plessy upheld segregation.

Answer:

A. The Supreme Court ruled that segregation with "separate but equal" facilities was constitutional.
