Answer 1

Reconstruction led to the creation of a new state constitution with expanded rights.

(Explanation: a Georgia citizen in 1868 praising the "new constitution" implies Reconstruction produced a new state constitution that changed government and expanded rights, especially for formerly enslaved people.)
