The separate but equal doctrine was the law of the land in the US from the late 19th century until 1954. In the 1896 case of Plessy v. Ferguson the US Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation was legal as long as the separate facilities for each race were equal. This ruling set a constitutional precedent making segregation legal throughout the country. The ruling was not overturned until 1954 when the Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education declared that segregating children in public schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.Plessy v. Ferguson (1896)Brown v. Board of Education (1954)

This is the doctrine in Property Law that a landholder whether he be the owner of an interest in a freehold or non freehold estate can only transfer the interest that he has. For example, if a landowner owns an interest in fee simple absolute, he can devise, transfer (or his heirs will inherit) his entire estate. On the other hand, if he were to transfer a lesser quantum than his interest in fee simple, for example a life estate, then he would maintain the reversionary interest at the natural termination of that estate.
