Answer 2

One of the Enforcement Acts made it a federal offense to interfere with a citizen’s right to vote. Option C is correct.

The Enforcement Acts were three bills passed by the United States Congress between 1870 and 1871. They existed criminal codes which protected African-Americans’ right to vote, to hold office, to serve on juries, and receive equal protection of laws. These laws allowed the federal government to intervene in case the states did not act to protect these rights as well.
