Solution

failed
failed

The answer is C

Explanation
Option A: The legality of the exclusionary rule.

The exclusionary rule pertains to the inadmissibility of evidence obtained in violation of a defendant's constitutional rights, particularly the Fourth Amendment. This is not related to the Plessy v. Ferguson decision.

Option B: The legality of eminent domain.

Eminent domain refers to the power of the government to take private property for public use, with compensation. This concept is not addressed in the Plessy v. Ferguson case.

Option C: The legality of Jim Crow laws.

The Plessy v. Ferguson decision upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine. This ruling provided legal justification for the Jim Crow laws, which enforced racial segregation in the Southern United States for many decades.

Option D: The legality of judicial review.

Judicial review is the power of courts to assess the constitutionality of legislative acts. This principle was established in Marbury v. Madison (1803) and is not the focus of the Plessy v. Ferguson decision.

Therefore, the long-term result of the Plessy v. Ferguson decision was the legality of Jim Crow laws, which institutionalized racial segregation.
