The correct answer is the right to vote.

Jim Crow laws were laws implemented in the Southern United States after the era of Reconstruction. The goal of these laws was to limit the rights of African-American citizens. One way in which these laws worked was by implementing different voting restrictions.

For example, some southern states would force citizens to take a literacy test. This test was aimed at African-American citizens, as many of them did not have a formal education due to their previous status as slaves. Other laws included:

1) A grandfather clause- Which stated that if your grandfather was not able to vote than you are not able to vote.

2) Poll tax- Which was a certain amount of money that people had to pay in order to vote.
