Question

Can some one help me Which statement describes a common trait of the three Reconstruction Amendments? They all prevented states from re-establishing a system of slavery. They have all been used to expand voting rights for minority groups. They all focused on extending citizenship and protecting civil rights of minority groups. They were all supported by both Republicans and Democrats at the time of their passage.

Answer 1

"They all focused on extending citizenship and protecting civil rights of minority groups" would be the best option from the list, since Republicans in Congress wanted to ensure that the newly-freed slaves would not be stopped from advancing in society.
