If it’s unjust then it’s unconstitutional right?

This subject is a touchy one with many people but I for one do not think our unjust laws would have changed without Mr. Plessy. He was brave to challenge the Jim Crow laws. In doing so he established the legality of segregation as long as facilities were kept “separate but equal” and helped to sustain Jim Crow laws.

If a law is unjust I feel we as Americans have the right to challenge them. That’s why we pay taxes, elect leaders and have the right to vote. Fighting for our rights is part of our Constitution.

This link really spells out what Mr. Plessy did and what the reaction was in the courts of our Land.

I think any law the causes segregation of the races is wrong since we have so many different races here, it just causes tension between us all.

Good Luck with your essay/project!

That may be the only way to call attention to the situation. In the case to which you refer, the result was national attention to a regional problem, with the final resolution coming from the Federal Court system. The person taking this step is likely to face both legal charges, possible prison time as the wheels of justice spin slowly and also local economic and social consequences which are not remedied by the ultimate legal victory. This step cannot be taken lightly. Such people are heroes who have on many occasions caused us all to re-examine the laws and their effect on the individual.

It is still the law. There are ways to fight against the law without actually fighting it. I know that times were hard back then, but there are other people in the same time era that had the same (or better) effect on the government by doing things the “legal way”.

Breaking the law is breaking the law
