So let's start off with Albion W. Tourgée, Homer Plessy's lawyer. Don't expect this to be top notch, I am not a lawyer you know! From what I have learned in school this case has me thinking about two amendments, the 13th and the 14th. It would violate the 13th amendment because forcing people to separate into different train cars could be seen as involuntary servitude. It violated the 14th amendment because states do not have the right to limit citizen's rights and they are limiting people's right because they are deciding where one must sit.
