The correct answer is D) both cases involved interpretation of the Fourteen Amendment.

What accurately describes what Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education had in common is "both cases involved interpretation of the Fourteen Amendment."

Ratified on July 9, 1868, the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution granted citizenship to all people born or naturalized of the United States, including former African American slaves.

In the case of Plessy v. Ferguson of 1896, it started the idea of "separated but equal," allowing segregated facilities for African Americans. In the case of Brown v. Board of Education of 1954, the court decided that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. Both cases involved an interpretation of the Fourteen Amendment."

The other options of the question were A) both cases involved protecting the right to engage in civil disobedience. B) both cases involved striking down state segregation laws. C) both cases involved affirmative action.
