In State of Louisiana v. Plessy, Judge Ferguson decided that the state could choose to regulate railroad companies that
operated within the state even though he had previously declared the ""Separate Car Act"" unconstitutional on trains that
traveled through several states. If an act is declared unconstitutional in one case, shouldn't it be held unconstitutional in
all cases? How do you think Judge Ferguson could legally justify making this distinction?
Is it possible for two races to remain separated while striving for equality? Are separation and equality compatible?
