N 1880, San Fransisco enacted an ordinance that required all laundry businesses had to be in buildings that were made of stone or brick. If they wanted to have a laundry that was in a wooden building, they needed to get permission from the board of supervisors. Due to challenges in other employment areas, Chinese immigrants often worked in or owned laundromats. In fact, 89% of San Fransisco's laundry businesses were operated by workers of Chinese descent.
The board of supervisors began granting whites permission to have laundry businesses in wooden buildings but didn't grant permission to Chinese immigrants. Those that violated this ordinance had to pay a fine. Yick Wo was an operator for 22 years in San Fransisco. He did not have a permit and refused to pay the fine. Wo was arrested and convicted. He then appealed his conviction, saying that the law was discriminating against him because of his race. The court ruled that he was still protected under the 14th Amendment and dismissed all charges. Looking at the background for this case and the ruling, the best answer choice would be that the court ruled that Chinese Americans were able to operate laundry facilities, just as native-born citizens could.

Explanation:
The creation of the German Confederation in 1815 was largely in
reaction to the growing sense of German nationalism, which had not
existed in Europe prior to the 19th century. While strains of
nationalism certainly existed before the turn of the century, it was
France's conquest of the German lands in the first decade of the 19th
century that first fully aroused German nationalists into proposing a
unified, German state. Indeed, J.G. Fichte's Addresses to the German Nation, given in Berlin in 1808, called on Germans to unite under their common language and traditions.
Perhaps
no other statesman was in such a fine position to make this dream a
reality as the Chancellor of Prussia during the mid-19th century, Otto von Bismarck.
Bismarck was a fervent German nationalist who wanted a German nation,
but specifically one dominated by his Prussia. As a result, once
appointed, Chancellor Bismarck set out to strengthen and improve the
Prussian army and gain international allies that would help Prussia on
its way to unifying Germany.
The main reason why Spain decided to support Columbus' voyages of exploration was because he promised that he would bring gold and spices back from the New World. Another reason was that the Spanish Crown was interested in spreading Christianity.
George Wallace was a noted racist and appealed to voters who shared his racist opinions and beliefs. Part of Wallace's "genius" was his ability to use coded racist language, language which highlighted his racist opinions and ideas yet couldn't easily be used to identify him as a flagrant racist to the public.
