D. They stripped African slaves of their human rights and allow English colonist to see them as less than human.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Basically, according to these laws African slaves were seen as property, not as persons.
  • Many of these codes have been brought, and they left often to rebellions.
  • Still, most of them were unsuccessful, and led to new codes being imposed.
