question 38
the supreme courts decision in plessy v. ferguson upheld:
the civil rights act of 1875
the legality of racial segregation
the voting rights act
federal enforcement of integration

Explanation:

In the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the constitutionality of racial segregation laws. The Court's decision established the "separate but equal" doctrine. This doctrine was used to justify racial segregation in public facilities such as schools, transportation, and public accommodations. The Court held that as long as the separate facilities for different races were equal in quality, racial segregation did not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This decision had a profound impact on the legal and social landscape of the United States, as it provided a legal basis for the continuation of racial segregation for many years.

Answer:

The legality of racial segregation
