Answer:

D.They wanted to limit the voting abilities of freedmen and poverty-stricken citizens.

Explanation:

The main reason why states required voters to pass literacy tests and pay poll taxes in order to vote was because these governments wanted to limit the voting abilities of freedmen and poverty-stricken citizens. This became particularly common during Reconstruction. As slaves became free, states in the South passed a series of laws that attempted to reduce the effect of the Reconstruction policies passed by the Republican government.

Why did copernicus hesitate to consider alternatives to the ptolemaic universe?
Sladkaya [172]
Copernicus was going up against everything and everyone, namely the Church. Copernicus would put forth the idea the heliocentric universe. This meant that the sun was at the center and not the earth. This could be taken to mean (and was by many) that God had not placed Man at the Center of the Universe. The idea that there was more that could occupy God than our existence and we were not the most important creature or thing was mind blowing.
