ensure that no one would challenge their new economic system.

Explanation: Carolina slave laws (slave codes) were written to control enslaved people and protect the plantation economy — defining slaves as property, restricting movement, assembly, literacy, and legal rights, and criminalizing resistance — not to improve conditions, limit slavery, or free enslaved people.
