The Enforcement Acts were three bills passed by the United States Congress between 1870 and 1871. They were criminal codes which protected African-Americans' right to vote, to hold office, to serve on juries, and receive equal protection of laws.

I looked your question up and copied and pasted the answers. I’m not 100% sure that it’s right.
