1. Describe the events that led to Plessy vs. Ferguson?

2. In your opinion, do you think a State should have the right to govern themselves without interference of the Federal Government? (States Rights vs Federal Government)

3. Give an example of a recent societal disagreement between states and the Federal Government.

The evenst that led up to Plessy vs Ferguson are when Homer Plessy tried to get on a train and he sat in the white only and they kicked him off because 1/8 of him was black.

2. No I think that the state should take care of it's own problems and the federal government shouldn't get involed.

3. If they will allow marijuana in every state.

The events that led up to plessy vs. ferguson are when a man named Homler Plessy tried to get on a train and Louisiana told him no and made a law against him.

Yes, I think that the Federal Government should have a right to step in and tell a state that the law that they made is against the United States Constitution.

Legalization of marijuana .

#1)Well if I were to describe the events that led up to the Plessy vs.Ferguson, I would say that, After the poor way Homer Plessy was treated on the Tran. Plessy decided to go to the supreme court about the unfair way he was treated, Plessy stated he has a right according to the 13th & 14th amendment. But the supreme court said they did which allowed every other stat to want too make there own law which led to lots of death...

#2) In my own opinion i would say that the states shouldn't have the right to govern them self. Because then that would just lead to stats being more independent them united, This is my opinion.

#3) Well he U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in New York, ruled in 2006 that police can look in closed containers while conducting a search. New York state courts had held a decade earlier that police must stop if ownership of the container is unclear.

1.The events that led up to Plessy vs. Ferguson is, Plessy is only 1/8 black. Plessy sits on a white only cart. He would not move, they took him to court. He said that he is protected by the 13th and 14th amendment, the court said no and took him to jail.

2. Yes, states have their own problems, the problem is only in one state.

3. Legalizing marijuana in the states.

The events that led up to Plessy vs. Ferguson are Plessy was trying to sit on a train and they didn't let him because only white people could sit where he tried to sit. They kicked him off because 1/8 of him was black.

2. Yes, because the federal government should be able to tell a state or whatever state made the law they should tell them if it is against the United States Constitution.

Homer Plessy didn't have the right to sit in the white section because he was 1/8 black. And Plessy was arrested for sitting on the white cart since it was against the law.
