The Naturalization Act of 1870 affected Chinese immigrants' ability to:

A. become citizens of the United States.
B. defend themselves in California court.
C. receive due process under the law.
OD. earn a living by mining gold.

Answer 1

Answer:A. become citizens of the United States.

Explanation:The Naturalization Act of 1870 was a law passed by the United States Congress that restricted the ability of Chinese immigrants to become citizens of the United States. This law was part of a broader effort to limit the number of Chinese immigrants coming to the United States and to discriminate against those who were already here. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 went further to outright ban Chinese immigration for more than 60 years.
