The passage below is from the U. S. Supreme Court decision Plessy Ferguson: We consider the underlying follacy of the plaintiff's argument to consist in the assumption that the enforced separation of the two races stamps the
colored race with a badge of inferiority. If this be so, it is not by reason of anything found in the act, but, solely because the colored race chooses to pur
that construction upon it. If the civil and political rights of both races by equal, one cannot be inferior to the other civilly or politically. If one roce be
inferior to the other socially, the constitution of the United States cannot put them upon the same plane.

What was the impact of the reasoning in Plessy v Ferguson?

A. Racial segregation remained in place in the South for another half century.

B. Southern state governments were forced to end their practice of racial segregation.

C. States government had to not provide equal facilities to members of different races.

D. States government had to ensure economic social equality
