Answer:

Congress passed the Enforcement Acts between 1870 and 1875 to protect African American's political rights.

Explanation:

The Enforcement Acts were a series of three laws passed by Congress between 1870 and 1871.

They were criminal codes designed to protect the voting rights of African Americans, to perform their duties, to serve in juries and to receive equal protection of the laws. Under the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant, the laws also allowed the federal government to intervene when states did not act to protect those rights.

These acts were passed after the ratification of the Fourteenth Amendment, which gave full citizenship to any person born in the United States with no distinction of race, and the Fifteenth Amendment, which prohibited racial discrimination in voting. Until that time, the lives of all newly liberated slaves, as well as their political and economic rights, were threatened. This threat led to the promulgation of these laws.

Essay Prompt:

An example of an historical turning point was the emergence of <u>the Enlighment era, that led to the creation of democratic states. </u>

The Enlighment movement emerged in Europe during the 18th century  and it was constituted by philosophers that promoted Reason and the scientific method over medieval superstition and religious dogmas, and the establishment of democratic societies where the power resided on its people, and not in monarchs or rulers "appointed by God". The resulting states that emerged based on the principles of this movement, enacted bills of civil rights for the first time in history, and implemented principles such as the division of powers or the social contract, through which citizens elected their governors by suffrage.

Such Enlightment principles were transferred to the American colonies, where the population claimed for political representation rather than being governed by foreigners that were appointed by a foreign king. Such claims were ignored and the colonies, influenced by the new democratic principles, started several revolutionary movements for independence aiming to establish new states based on the Enlightment principles such as in Europe.
