The United States Supreme Court handed down its first decision
regarding the constitutionality of the 14th Amendment Equal
Protection Clause and state segregation laws, Plessy v.
Ferguson in 1896.
Three amendments - 13th, 14th & 15th - are referred to as
the Civil War Amendments as they are all passed and ratified by
the so-called Radical Republicans who controlled Congress in
the years after the Civil War. The 14th amendment (1868) in
particular was passed to limit the power of the states. In the 10
years after the war, "Reconstruction" was the name given for
the period when the former confederate states had their powers
greatly restricted. As the states one by one were allowed to be
released from direct northern control, the former confederate
states passed the "Black Codes" or "Jim Crow Laws"
(Segregation) that greatly limited the rights of the former slaves
and their descendants.
After doing the reading, please submit an analysis of Plessy v.
Ferguson and the ruling up-holding the constitutionality of
segregation laws in no more than 600 words.
