Plessy v. Ferguson was a important court case where the Supreme Court stated that separate facilities as constitutional as long as it is equal. The decision allowed for white and black schools in addition to segregation in public transportation, restrooms, and other facilities.

The supreme court had made the 14th amendment of that year which had its main focus on the equal protection of law.

This amendment had stated that there shall be an equal but differentiated protection of rights for the people belonging to no matter what race. There shall be no distinction based on races.

  • The only decision that was held by the court was that the difference between Black and White people is only the color of their skin and not their fundamental rights.

  • The incident dates back to 1892 when a man named Plessy, who was African-American refused to sit in the car that was specifically meant for black people which lead to a case being formed in 1896.

  • The court's decision to make amendments stated that there was only one differentiation between races and that is the race itself and nothing else could keep them separated from their fundamental rights.

Hence, the court made decision to make the 14th amendment that year by deciding that there be an equal protection of the rights and law be same for different person of no matter what caste, race, sex, etc.
