Lawful separation described by jurisprudence or courts is termed?

• A. De Jure Segregation
• B. De Facto Segregation
• C. Reverse Discrimination
• D. Legal Segregation

Answer: (A)

De jure segregation is lawful separation enforced by law or court rulings. It means the government requires or explicitly permits segregation of people by race in facilities, schools, transportation, and other public domains. This contrasts with de facto segregation, which arises from social, economic, or housing patterns rather than a specific law. The other terms don’t fit because de facto describes segregation in practice not by law, reverse discrimination refers to perceived discriminatory effects of affirmative action, and “legal segregation” isn’t the standard label used in this context.
