Justice Brown's verdict stated that separation does not necessarily imply any inequality. Therefore, things could be separate but equal at the same time. This was one of the influential cases in starting the Civil Rights movement.

c. Separation does not necessarily imply any inequality.

The Plessy v. Ferguson case needed to decide on the constitutionality of segregation.

The decision of the case stated that segregation did not violate the 14th amendment because the act of segregation did not imply inequality. Justice Brown suggested that separating people was no proof that the separate facilities were unequal and therefore no violation had taken place.
