Plessy v. Ferguson

In 1896, a one-eighth black male named Plessy was arrested for sitting in the wrong section of a train and refusing to move. After the Supreme Court found Plessy guilty he appealed with the arguments of violating the Thirteenth Amendement which forbids slavery and the Fourteenth Amendment which states "any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." My opinion on the case is that by trying to give equal rights to both races there must not be separate sections for blacks and whites. Because by doing so you prevent each individual from their freedom of choice.
