How did the grandfather clause, which was enacted in southern states during Reconstruction, stop certain races of people from vo

ting?
A,)At least one member of a family had to own land to vote, but many blacks did not own land. Therefore, the vote was heavily decided by white citizens.
B.)The head of household of a family had to sign up family members to vote. Many head of households of black families were illiterate, so they were unable to read the paperwork necessary to register for voting.
C.)Citizens had to pass literacy tests to vote, but those who had ancestors who were eligible to vote were exempt from tests. This meant many blacks could not vote because they could not read and only had ancestors who were slaves and who therefore were ineligible to vote.
D.)All citizens were required to provide documentation to vote. Whites already had access to official documents, having been citizens since birth, while blacks had to apply for and purchase documents. This was a long and difficult process that limited their access to voting.

C.)Citizens had to pass literacy tests to vote, but those who had ancestors who were eligible to vote were exempt from tests. This meant many blacks could not vote because they could not read and only had ancestors who were slaves and who therefore were ineligible to vote.

Explanation:

The Grandfather clause, which was enacted in southern states during Reconstruction, stop certain races of people from voting by ensuring "Citizens had to pass literacy tests to vote, but those who had ancestors who were eligible to vote were exempt from tests. This meant many blacks could not vote because they could not read and only had ancestors who were slaves and who therefore were ineligible to vote."

The Grandfather clause was made in the Southern part of the United States in 1895 and existed till 1910. The purpose is to deny African Americans from voting. It stated that anybody who had in the past held the right to vote before the period of 1866 or 1867, and their lineal descendants would be free from necessarily meeting the educational, property, or tax requirements for voting.
