Explanation:

• The Plessy v. Ferguson decision upheld racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine.
• It didn't find the Fourteenth Amendment unconstitutional.
• It established the precedent that segregation laws were constitutional, limited African American citizens' rights by enforcing segregation, and allowed "separate but equal" to continue. It did not stop states from creating segregation laws (in fact, it enabled them). So the correct options are the ones about establishing precedent, limiting African American rights, and allowing "separate but equal" to continue.
