currently I am trying to plot for the Legendre polynomial $P_n(x)$ for $n=0,1,2,3,4$ and $-1 \leq x \leq 1$ .

To plot for it, I wrote the following code:

MyLegendre=Table[[LegendreP[v,x],x],{n,0,4}]; Plot[MyLegendre,{x,-1,1},PlotLabels -> {"v=0", "v=1", "v=2", "v=3", "v=4"}]

However, Mathematica keeps stating that there is an error with my above code. Any help to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for the help!

You need to reposition the labels

MyLegendre = Table[LegendreP[v, x], {v, 0, 4}]; 
Plot[MyLegendre, {x, -1, 1},
 Frame -> True, 
 PlotLabels -> 
  Placed[{"v=0", "v=1", "v=2", "v=3", "v=4"}, 
    {{Scaled[0.5], Above}, {Scaled[0.385], Above}}]]
