Read the excerpt from a supporting opinion of the Supreme Court's ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson.
If the civil and political rights of both races be equal, one cannot be inferior to the other civilly or politically. If one race be inferior to the other socially, the Constitution of the United States cannot put them upon the same plane.
How does this relate to the premises of Brown v. Board of Education?

Answer:

This excerpt from a supporting opinion of the Supreme Court's ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson which states that the if one race is socially inferior to other then the constitution of the United States can not put them upon the same.

This relate to the premises of Brown v. Board of Education in following way:

  • This case was about the segregation of the Public Schools. It was argued that this segregation leads to the development of inferiority in the black children. So, such a system is creating inequality.
  • The Supreme Court ruled that the separate but equal schools doctrine is creating sense of equality rather than it is creating inferiority in the people. So, the segregation was eradicated afterwards.

Answer:

A) The Brown case questions whether separate schools based on race inherently render one inferior to the other.
