Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The case of Plessy v. Ferguson was a case that was heard by the US Supreme Court in 1896 in which a black person violated the Louisiana's Separate Car Act of 1890 and he argued that this law was unconstitutional. However, in the decision the US Supreme Court ruled that Louisiana law was not unconstitutional because although the Fourteenth Amendment referred to the equality of white and black people, it didn't eliminate the distinctions based on color. So, according to this, in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court focused its decision on the interpretation of the word equal.
