in 1896, the supreme court issued its decision in plessy v. ferguson. justice henry brown of michigan delivered the majority opinion, in part, he said:

“we consider the underlying fallacy of the plaintiff’s argument to consist in the assumption that the enforced separation of the two races stamps the colored race with a badge of inferiority. if this be so, it is not by reason of anything found in the act, but solely because the colored race chooses to put that construction upon it… the argument also assumes that social prejudice may be overcome by legislation, and that equal rights cannot be secured except by an enforced commingling of the two races… if the civil and political rights of both races be equal, one cannot be inferior to the other civilly or politically. if one race be inferior to the other socially, the constitution of the united states cannot put them upon the same plane.”

based on the passage, why was the jim crow law upheld?

a. social inferiority is determined by the constitution

b. laws can change social prejudice

c. civil and political rights of blacks and whites are equal

d. blacks and whites should not be separated
