Question 610 • Crowley Credit Recovery Algebra II B

How did the verdict in Brown v. Board of Education relate to the verdict in Plessy v. Ferguson?

Answer

It upheld the earlier decision about segregation.

It set a new legal precedent on the issue of segregation.

It cemented the idea that separate was not synonymous to segregation.

It proved educational facilities were subject to partial segregation.

Explanation

In Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), the Supreme Court upheld racial segregation under the “separate but equal” doctrine. Brown v. Board of Education (1954) rejected that doctrine in public education, ruling that separate schools are inherently unequal. This set a new legal precedent by overturning the earlier rule in this area, so the correct choice is C, “It set a new legal precedent on the issue of segregation.”
