Answer 1

After the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment, several laws were enacted to limit the political participation of Black Americans, primarily through discriminatory practices. The correct response would be:

**taxes required for a person to vote and tests that showed their ability to read and write.**

These measures, such as literacy tests and poll taxes, were used to disenfranchise Black voters and other marginalized groups despite their legal right to vote.
