The correct option is B.
The black codes is a series of laws enacted by the southern states of America after the civil war in order to restrict the freedom of the freed black slaves. The black codes was aimed at subjecting the black man to servitude. As a result of the black codes, many Black Americans, which are majorly freed slaves moved away from the southern states, where the law was operative to states in the North and the West who have no such laws.
The primary way of life that developed in the southern colonies was agricultural, since the climate and terrain made this advantageous. Another way of life was that of the merchant, since these crops needed to be exported for profit.
Answer: C. Due to the privileges and immunities clause of article IV for citizens of other states might move to Maryland in order to take advantage of the benefits
The text of the clause is as follows:
<em>"The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States."</em>
The Privileges and Immunities Clause is found in the United States Constitution, Article IV, Section 2, Clause 1. It is also known as the Comity Clause. It establishes that no state should treat the citizens from other states in a discriminatory manner. It is also inferred from the clause that citizens have the right of movement between states. Due to this clause, it is possible for citizens from other states to move to Maryland to take advantage of its increased welfare benefits.
