Sagot :

The answer is A because the decision that overruled the Plessy vs. Ferguson decision was Brown vs. Board of Education which declared segregation illegal in 1954, 58 years later.

The correct answer is A. As a result of the Plessy v. Ferguson ruling, it took decades for segregation to be declared unconstitutional.

The case Plessy v. Ferguson, of 1896, is a legal decision in the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court of the United States in which it was decided to maintain the constitutionality of racial segregation even in public places (especially in railway networks) under the doctrine of "Separate but equal".

The verdict of seven votes to one was announced, with the majority opinion drafted by Judge Henry Billings Brown and the dissident by John Marshall Harlan. David Josiah Brewer did not participate in the decision. "Separate but equal" remained in US law until its challenge in 1954 by decision of the Supreme Court in the case Brown v. Board of Education.
