Answer 1

A. literacy test.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 1910 legislature was initiated by the Democratic Party held states, and saw to the "need" to create rules in which to keep African Americans and previous slaves from voting. As many of the previous slaves continued to be illiterate, the literacy test was one way in which the Democratic Party wished to delegitimize the rights of blacks. Of course, there are many other ways that the Democratic Party put in place in states that they held, to ensure that only whites were able to vote.
