• education is important for all people.
• school policies should be uniform.
• citizenship requires voting rights.

Explanation:

In Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court rejected the "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson. The core reasoning was that racially segregated public educational facilities are inherently unequal, violating the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The other options do not address the specific legal and factual basis for overturning Plessy v. Ferguson in this case.

Answer:

A. Separate is inherently unequal.
