Which of the following cases began because an African American man was arrested for sitting in the whites-only section of a train? Marbury v. Madison Texas v. Johnson Plessy v. Ferguson Brown v. Board of Education

TypicalFoxGirl:

Start from the top: Marbury v. Madison: According to Wikipedia, it is "was a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case that established the principle of judicial review in the United States, meaning that American courts have the power to strike down laws, statutes, and some government actions that they find to violate the Constitution of the United States." (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marbury_v._Madison) Texas v. Johnson: "In 1984, in front of the Dallas City Hall, Gregory Lee Johnson burned an American flag as a means of protest against Reagan administration policies. Johnson was tried and convicted under a Texas law outlawing flag desecration." (https://www.oyez.org/cases/1988/88-155) Plessy v. Ferguson: "Louisiana enacted the Separate Car Act, which required separate railway cars for blacks and whites. In 1892, Homer Plessy – who was seven-eighths Caucasian – agreed to participate in a test to challenge the Act. He was solicited by the Comite des Citoyens (Committee of Citizens), a group of New Orleans residents who sought to repeal the Act. They asked Plessy, who was technically black under Louisiana law, to sit in a "whites only" car of a Louisiana train." (https://www.oyez.org/cases/1850-1900/163us537) Brown v. Board of Education: "In 1896, the Supreme Court ruled in Plessy v. Ferguson that racially segregated public facilities were legal, so long as the facilities for Black people and whites were equal."
