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.

Answer:

The Paraguayan Civil War (1922), took place between 27 May 1922 and 10 July 1923, within the borders of Paraguay. It started when supporters of candidate Adolfo Chirife attempted to forcefully restore the implementation of presidential elections canceled by President Eusebio Ayala. Chirife represented the so-called Constitutionalist or Schaererist side ideologically supporting liberal politician Eduardo Schaerer, while troops under Ayala were named Loyalists or Gondrists ideologically pledging allegiance to former President Manuel Gondra. The conflict concluded when Gondrist forces defeated the remnants of the Schaererist army in Asunción.

Exodus 20:2-17 THE HOLY BIBLE

“You shall have no other gods before me."

“You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God and only worthy of worship, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments."

“You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.

“Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, or your servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy."

“Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you."

“You shall not kill."

“You shall not steal."

“You shall not commit adultery."

“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."

“You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's.”
