The correct answer is A. to enforce the policy of segregation. Jim Crow laws were a series of state and local laws in the United States that enforced racial segregation and discrimination against African Americans from the late 1800s to the mid-1960s. These laws were passed to maintain white supremacy and to prevent African Americans from gaining political and economic power. Georgia was one of the states that implemented Jim Crow laws to enforce segregation in public spaces, schools, and other areas of society.
