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.

Plessy sat on the white section and was arrested.

I believe that states should be able to govern themselves. I also think they shouldn't.

Gay marriage.

1.) Plessy sat on a train for only whites and refused to sit on the one for blacks so he got arrested.

2.) No everyone should have a say

1. When Plessy tried to aboard an all white train car they told him to sit in the colored section, and he refused. He was then arrested by authorities.

2. No, when you vote people in to represent and run your state most of the time they only show the good parts of themselves. When they get voted in they may go against everything they said when running for the position that they are in. That is when the government needs to step in and say no.

3. Recent law enforcement shooting innocent people. Some of them may not have been innocent but law enforcement handled it the wrong way. They were way too violent, and may have broken the rules that they were trained by. Many people are upset because they aren't getting in trouble for what they did. I think it is a major problem, and if it continues it will make it to the supreme court.

1. Plessy sat in a white train car, and was convicted for it. The end of the case birthed the phrase "separate but equal".

2. No. Sometimes the federal government's involvement in cases has been negative, but there have been many times where revolutionary ideas were brought up and passed as laws.

3. One recent disagreement is the gay marriage debate. Since the federal government legalized it, some states have made it legal themselves. However, there are still some states that keep it from happening legally, which is not good.

1.He sat on a train meant for white people and got arrested because he wasn't white and wouldn't sit it the colored part of the train.

2.I think a bigger power should have a role in the government in states. I dont think states will make the right decision unless influenced.

1. When Plessy sat on a all white train, he was told to sit in the colored section but refused so he got arrested.

2. I do believe because that way the state would make its own rules but i don't believe because the state could make rules that other states would not like.

3. Some states are legalizing Marijuana.

1. They started to segregate everything from hospitals to phone booths to coke machines. They then started to segregate trains and buses which became a big problem. Plessy was going on a bus and he had an eighth of African american in him. The attendant was told if he lets Plessy on the bus he/she is in trouble. They then had to make him move, but he refused and was arrested. Which then led to Plessy V. Ferguson a famous Supreme court case.

In my opinion I do, but at the same time I don't. The reasoning that I do is because the federal government doesn't actually live through out where we live.

when a "black" man noticed that he saw the segregation of two trains he went on the train and he wanted to test the supreme court by getting on. he was then arrested for doing so.

I thin k the state has the right to make their own laws because the federal government really doesn't know whats going on in each state while the individual state does and knows what they need.

A disagreement that states and federal government has is the gay rights thing. Many of the states want for the people in their state to allow them to marry the ones they want to. The federal government doesnt allow some of them to but some of them have the law passed.

1: Plessy sat on a train meant for whites and was arrested.

2: No, the federal government needs to be able to step in and have a say. So if the states gov. is being dumb, fed can say something about it.

3: Some states are legalizing marijuana and some states aren't.

1. Plessy tried to get on the all white train. And when they told him to get off he refused. And they arrested him.

2. No because what a state can come up with can abuse the people in that state. And also the law can go against the 10 amendments.

3. Marijawana being legal.

1. Plessy got on a white train and refused to sit in the colored section of the train so he was arrested.

2. I don't think so because something one person will agree on people may not like that idea and vote against it.
