The power to assign to a particular coach obviously implies the power to determine to which race the passenger belongs, as well as the power to determine who, under the laws of the particular state, is to be deemed a white and who a colored person.1 which case is the excerpt most likely from? a. brown v. board of education b. bolling v. sharpe c. plessy v. ferguson d. obergefell v. hodges

The correct answer is C. The excerpt is most likely to be from Plessy v. Ferguson, as it uphelds the power to segregate public services.

Explanation:

Plessy v. Ferguson was a decision of the US Supreme Court legally formalizing racial segregation and confirming its compliance with the American constitution.

In 1892, Homer Plessy, who was 1/8 African American, took a train on a white carriage. Under the laws of Louisiana, he was arrested. Plessy went to court, believing that state authorities were violating the US Constitution, which should guarantee the equality of citizens before the law. Plessey appealed to the US Supreme Court, which in 1896 ruled that dividing citizens into blacks and whites did not violate the constitution.

This decision reinforced the phenomenon of racial segregation in the United States. Several states have passed laws that establish segregation in schools, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, transportation, and toilets.
