Which of the following staements best supports the idea that the jim crow laws detailed in the table deprived African Americans
PIT_PIT [208]

<u>Question 1</u>

The correct answer is: "they created a sense of inferiority that was inherently".

With the enactment of the Reconstruction Amendments to the US Constitution, that granted equality of rights to all US citizens without discrimination in terms of race, some Southern states started to issue laws that indirectly tried to circumvent such provision and to prevent African Americans from having actual access to their constitutional rights.

For example, Jim Crow laws aimed to impede black citizens from voting, by establishing requirements such as having a certain income level or obtaining a certain grade in a literacy test. Such requirements excluded mostly black citizens, which were treated as inferior and actually they were positioned as such, when being excluded.

<u>Question 2</u>

The correct answer is: "housing patterns and economic opportunity "

Segregation is not allowed on any legal document or official action in the United States. It was declared unconstitutional and forbidden some decades ago.

But the US is a country deeply affected by social and income inequalities. The main reason is the difference in social and economic opportunities that  a person can have access to, and thesedepend drastically on the type of neighbourhood or community in which a person is born or lives.
