Arrange the following legislation that was passed after the Civil War in the proper chronological order:

Question

I. Reconstruction Act
II. Wade-Davis Bill
III. Fifteenth Amendment
IV. Compromise of 1877
(1 point)
O I., I., Ill., IV.
O I., II. IV., Ill.
• I., I., IIl., IV.
O IIl., IV., I1., 1.

Answer 1

To arrange the legislation in chronological order, we can refer to the dates of each:

I. Reconstruction Act - 1867
II. Wade-Davis Bill - 1864 (passed by Congress but pocket-vetoed by Lincoln)
III. Fifteenth Amendment - Ratified in 1870
IV. Compromise of 1877 - 1877

Now, placing these in order:

1. Wade-Davis Bill (1864)
2. Reconstruction Act (1867)
3. Fifteenth Amendment (1870)
4. Compromise of 1877 (1877)

Thus, the correct chronological order is:

II, I, III, IV.

Unfortunately, none of the answer choices you provided match this correct order. The closest choice in terms of numerical ordering alone is I., II., III., IV., but that is incorrect chronologically. If you need further assistance or clarification, please let me know!
