In the plessy v. ferguson case, the supreme court ruled that: a. segregation was illegal and jim crow laws were unconstitutional b. segregation was legal as long as facilities were operate but equal c. segregation had been outlawed by the fourteenth amendment d. segregation had been established by the thirteenth amendment

The answer is B. Segregation was legal as long as facilities were operated but equal. Because at that time discrimination was a huge deal in the southern state. They all through that separating the people based on their race was acceptable. And it’s ok to do that. They also thought that even though they’re separated, they’re equal. Which later on outlawed this kind of misconceptions.
