The correct response is: **laws that limited the rights of Black people**.
The "Black Codes" were laws enacted in the Southern United States during the Reconstruction Era following the Civil War. They were designed to restrict the freedom of African Americans and ensure their availability as a labor force. These laws often aimed to maintain white supremacy and control over the Black population by limiting their rights to vote, work, and move freely, among other restrictions.
