Given that this question is incomplete, in that it lacks the answer choices, I will complete it here. The full question would be, as found on other internet sources:

Which best explains why the Supreme Court´s decision in Plessy v. Ferguson was unconstitutional

a) The Supreme Court´s ruling allowed states to deny equal protection to any person within its jurisdiction

b) Since the 14th Amendment did not make concessions for people born outside the U.S, the Supreme Court´s decision could not be applied

c) The Supreme Court´s decision gave individual states the freedom to make their own laws in relation to non-whites

d) Since segregation laws did not provide equal protections or liberties to non-whites, the ruling was not consistent with the 14th Amendment.

The best answer to this question, then, would be the one given by option A.

Explanation:

"Plessy v. Ferguson" was a huge landmark case that was ruled in 1896 against the suer, Homer Plessy. The Court´s decision upheld the conviction and inprisonment of Plessy who had violated Louisiana´s Separate Car Act of 1890. They argued that although under the Fourteenth Amendment, it was required for states to ensure the equal protection of citizens, this did not mean that each state did not have the right to make any decisions, and establish legislation that favored the welfare, health and social stability, of their region. Therefore, the Court stated that Louisiana´s Separate Car Act did not violate the equality of the Fourteenth Amendment, but rather with it ensured its right to ensure the welfare and social stability of its state, and this was within its rights to have taken actions against Plessy. This case was deemed one of the most shameful for the Supreme Court as it completely denied the rights that U.S citizens had to receive equal protection, and ensure equality, regardless of any reason, as established by the Fourteenth Amendment, wherever they were in the U.S, and placed state legislature over the rights of citizens.
