Answer 1

#1) What was the basis of plessy's appeal in plessy vs ferguson?

Answer: In “A Modest Proposal” the author argues about his proposal (eating babies) which according to him could be a great solution to Ireland’s devastating food shortage, stimulate the economy, and also curtail overpopulation. He goes on by saying that the flesh of newborns would provide the tenderest meat and it would also change the moral of parents and children.
