Plessey V. Ferguson was a case that basically decided the laws of segregation for a while. Basically, the Court decided that because there was nothing against racial segregation in any of our documents and that, for a good while, Africans were slaves, segregation was constitutional because we had no laws based upon it so far and Africans were thought of as less than whites.
