The correct answer is D.

In the Reconstruction Era, the 14th and 15th amendments to the US Constitution had been introduced in order to guarantee equal rights for all US citizens, preventing any form of discrimination in terms of race.

The states could not explicitly prevent any citizen from participating in the elections. Still, many Southern states, circumvented the newly established constitutional provisions by implementing new requirements such as literacy tests, payment of poll taxes, property restrictions, etc., that needed to be fulfilled in order to register to vote. These measures excluded mostly black citizens as many were poor and/or illiterate.

Moreover, the grandfather clauses were introduced. These were used so that those whose ancestors were able to vote before the Civil War, could continue doing it wihtout the need of proving that they met the extra requirements: the tests, the poll taxes, etc. These provisions enahnced even more the discrimination against black US citizens.

Answer:

D) only people whose grandfathers could vote before the Civil War would be allowed to register to vote.

Explanation:

Grandfather clauses, allowed a man to vote if his grandfather or father had voted before January 1, 1867, this exemption clause effectively denied all freedmen the ability to vote. Free-colored men before 1831 could vote in North Carolina if they met the property requirements, however they were excluded there and elsewhere after the slave rebellion of 1831.

The population of many industrialized countries is on which path?
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

Aging populations

Explanation:

The industrialized countries are facing a big demographic problem in the past few decades. The problem is the aging population. The living conditions in this countries are the best in the world, so they have high life expectancy, and while that is good, a problem occurs because the birthrates are very low. The birthrates are so low that they can not even simply sustain the same number of the population. This situation leads to fewer and fewer young people, and more and more elderly people, so the population pyramid is becoming wider at the top and narrower at the bottom.

Which statement best summarizes the effects of world war I on the ottoman empire
LuckyWell [14K]

since the 1800s theres been a lot of rebelius uprisings on the balkans expecialy in the begining of the 1900s(Ilinden Uprising) then the Ottoman Empire was at war (First Bakan War 1911-12) with Montenegro(started the war), Serbia, Macedonia, Bugaria and Greece in 1913(2nd Balkan war) Greece, Serbia, and Bugaria divided Macedonia Greece took Aegon Macedonia Serbia took Vardar Macedonia Bugaria(stared the war) took Pirin Macedonia(smalest part) ---- Ottoman Empire, after 1700s had to maintain status quo for falling technologicaly and economicaly apart from European counterparts. Diplomaticaly it could have lost its existence long time ago if England and France did not prevent Russia from further advancing. However at the last times of the empire English left supporting and Italy invaded Tripoli, at that time with Russian support Balkan Wars began which was probably the greatest defeat of Ottoman Empire, by the countries it ruled for 4 centuries directly or as vassals. As nobody wanted to ally with Ottoman Empire, Germany was only country that was interested in allying. Great German aid was made, in both army and industry. Construction of Istanbul-Baghdad railroad was also maintained by German industry. Under this pro-German aids Ottoman Empire sought to gain its old power, at least on Balkans, which was so close to its capital and were highly populated by Turkish population. Note: By the Ottoman official records 2,5 million immigrants came from newly founded countries which is a real high number as Turkish population of Ottoman Empire was about 10 millions before WW1.
