▪some important cases that supreme court has heared:-

▪1873: In the first case to interpret the Fourteenth Amendment, the Supreme Court narrowly interpreted the newly passed amendment and its privileges and immunities clause, as only applying to a very limited number of federal rights of citizenship, such as the right to travel between states or use navigable waterways.

The Fourteenth Amendment, the Court held, did not protect the much broader range of rights granted by the individual states.

1883: In a series of cases known as the Civil Rights Cases, the Supreme Court held that the Civil Rights Act of 1875 was not constitutional under the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments.

The Court established the state-action doctrine, thereby allowing segregation and discrimination by private actors.

1886: In Yick Wo v. Hopkins, the Court ruled for the first time that a facially neutral law applied in a racially discriminatory manner violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

1896: In Plessy v. Ferguson, the Court upheld a Louisiana law requiring restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and other public places to serve African Americans in separate, but ostensibly equal, accommodations. In establishing the separate but equal doctrine, the Court said that segregation is universally recognized as within the competency of states in the exercise of their police powers. In the sole dissent, Justice John Marshall Harlan

a former slaveowner —said the ruling would stimulate aggressions, more or less brutal, upon the admitted rights of colored citizen
