What laws were put in place to limit the political participation of Black Americans after the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment? (1 point)

Question

• taxes required for a person to vote and tests that showed their ability to read and write
• tests that showed their ability to read and write and proof of residency
• taxes required to vote in elections and proof of U.S. citizenship
• required tests that showed their knowledge of politics and payment of a poll tax

Answer 1

The correct answer is: taxes required for a person to vote and tests that showed their ability to read and write.

After the ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment, various laws, including literacy tests and poll taxes, were implemented primarily in Southern states to disenfranchise Black Americans and other minority groups.
