Answer 1

Answer:

Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483, was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that U.S. state laws establishing racial segregation in public schools are unconstitutional, even if the segregated schools are otherwise equal in quality.

Explanation:

Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537, was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation laws for public facilities as long as the segregated facilities were equal in quality, a doctrine that came to be known as "separate but equal".

Answer 2

Answer: sample answer

Both Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) and Brown v. Board of Education (1954) dealt with the concept of “separate but equal.” Plessy was brought about when a man, Homer Adolph Plessy, refused to move from the train car he was riding when he was informed that it was only for whites. The court ruled that, as long as blacks had a similar car, it was constitutional to keep whites and blacks separated; however, when the “separate but equal” concept was brought up in 1954, the Supreme Court ruled differently. In Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court determined that separate but equal was impossible and therefore unconstitutional.
