[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

The general principle established with the Plessy v Ferguson Supreme Court decision was the doctrine of "separate but equal." This principle affirmed the constitutionality of racial segregation and allowed state laws requiring segregated facilities for different races, as long as those facilities were deemed equal in quality. Consequently, this decision legalized racial segregation and set the stage for decades of racial discrimination and inequality in the United States.
