    "separate but equal"

    Explanation:

    provided the legal justification for the expansion of segregation in America

    Under the new ruling, the Equal Protection Clause of the 14thAmendment permitted the separation of people based upon race (or any other factor) as long as the facilities or opportunities that were being offered to one were roughly equal to what was being offered to the other.
