Answer:

  • getting married
  • owning property
  • going to church

Step-by-step explanation:

Slave codes were a set of laws that regulated the relationship between slaves and their owners. These laws presented a large number of (absurd) prohibitions against slaves and regulated what landlords could and could not do with them.

Slave codes determined that slaves could not enter any church, or participate in any religious meeting, could not own any property (since they were owned by someone), could not marry (they were not considered legal persons), not had parental rights, among other inhuman prohibitions.
