The correct answer is D, as the grandfather clauses inflicted harm on African Americans with respect to mostly denial of the right to vote.

In 1866, African American slaves were emancipated. When the right to vote was granted to all citizens, it was subject to restrictions depending on each state. In seven southern states, economic and cultural measures reduced the right to vote: it could be to had a minimum area of land, or to know how to read and write the Constitution. As a derogatory measure, the right to vote was recognized for persons who did not satisfy these conditions, but who had, or whose father or grandfather already had the right to vote on 1 January 1866, that is to say prior to the American Civil War. This measure created a distortion between old and new voters, with African American as primarily targets. It was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court in 1915.

A. Colonists could be taxed only by colonial assemblies.

The Virginia Resolves was a declaration against the taxation issued by Great Britain. The document argued that Great Britain had no right to tax the colonists because there was no representation in Parliament. The document further states that anyone who aided tax collectors would be considered an enemy of the colonies and the Patriots. This document laid out the Patriot cause and beliefs regarding the taxation policies.

The Virginia Resolves is one of many documents creating arguments for rebellion against the British government. This document along with Common Sense, the work of the Committees of Correspondence, and the Declaration of Independence all contributed to the ideology that led to the American Revolution. These documents were rooted in Enlightenment ideas which drove the Revolution.
