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:
Rosa Luxemburg wrote in The Junius Pamphlet (1915) that the Social Democrats across Europe failed to block their nation's governments because they were docile and showed weakness, there was a waning of their fighting spirit.
Explanation:
Rosa Luxemburg (1871-1919), a prominent Marxist intellectual in Germany said that the Social Democrats failed to stop the governments of Europe from going to war, especially because the Marxist leaders had lost their fighting spirit (Luxemburg, Julius Pamphlet, 1915). The consequence is that the bourgeois state and the dominant classes were able to maintain their control of the state and institutions at the expense of the people of Europe who had to endure the war. Luxemburg said the European Left should see the war as a test of strength and that the Social Democrats need to learn how to be protagonists instead of a "will-less football," (Chapter 1, The Julius Pamphlet). Luxemburg believed the party needed to take control of their own fate and history if their view of society was to prevail. It is known through other speeches and writing that Luxemburg believed the Social Democrats had become overly bureaucratized and the trade unions in Germany resisted the idea of revolution.
