Which United States Supreme Court decision is based on the equal protection clause?

Brown v. Board of Education
United States v. Nixon
Plessy v. Ferguson
Griswold v. Connecticut

The correct answer is: Plessy v. Ferguson

The Plessy v. Ferguson decision is based on the equal protection clause because it established the "separate but equal" doctrine, which allowed for racial segregation in public facilities based on race. The other options listed are not relevant to the equal protection clause. Brown v. Board of Education dealt with school segregation, United States v. Nixon was about presidential powers, and Griswold v. Connecticut was about privacy rights. Therefore, C is the most appropriate answer for this question as it directly relates to the equal protection clause.
