Question

According to Justice Brown, who is at fault if one group of people feels inferior to another? How do you think he would suggest Plessy deal with the segregation laws? Support your answer with textual evidence

Answer 1

According to Justice Brown, the group of people who feels inferior to another group is to blame for their inferiority complex.

• Justice Brown thinks that commingling of groups or races cannot be enforced with laws.  Ironically, he thinks that segregation can be enforced with segregation laws.

• Justice Brown further thinks that the factor that drives separation or segregation is national (group) desires.  Therefore, government should not force groups to commingle.

• For Justice Brown, Plessy should wholeheartedly accept and live with the segregation laws.

Thus, the "separate but equal" in Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark ruling that established the doctrine that racial segregation laws were not violations of the U.S. Constitution, provided that facilities with equal quality are provided for each racial class.
