Answer 1

The two options that best describe how the three Reconstruction Amendments extended and limited civil rights to Black Americans are:

1. The Reconstruction Amendments freed Black Americans, defined citizenship, reversed the Three-Fifths Compromise, and extended voting rights to Black American men, but put restrictions on voting rights and did not prevent the separate but equal doctrine.

2. The Reconstruction Amendments abolished slavery, defined citizenship, extended voting rights for all citizens and defined equal protection and due process, but put restrictions on voting rights and did not prevent the separate but equal doctrine.

These responses capture the essence of the Reconstruction Amendments: the abolition of slavery (13th Amendment), establishment of citizenship and equal protection (14th Amendment), and the expansion of voting rights (15th Amendment), while also acknowledging the limitations imposed in terms of voting rights and the continued existence of segregation through the "separate but equal" doctrine.
