The correct answer here is A.

The word "gross" in this line from Frederick Douglas's famous speech named
<span>“What to the Slave Is the Fourth of July?” </span>means flagrant or extreme. This term is often used with the word "injustice" and it means unacceptable and obvious which is definition for flagrant as well.

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

Both excerpts present examples of legal oppression.

Explanation:

The excerpts presented in the question above are two examples of legal oppression, where someone or something possessing political power harmed a person or a group of people civilly, injuring the rights of citizens and causing civil and political damage through excess of authority. It is possible to reach this conclusion because in the first text, we can see that someone suspended all the laws adopted by a community, so that it could govern according to its own will. In the second text, we can see that a woman's property rights were taken away from her, because it did not seem profitable to someone with political power.
