Answer:

that they "be of good moral character"

Step-by-step explanation:

The second amendment stated that all qualifi ed voters “shall be of good moral character.” It was generally understood that circuit clerks, who also served as voter registrars, could use this vague requirement to prevent signifi cant numbers of blacks from registering to vote.

The first amendment empowered the governor to abolish any or all public schools in the state if necessary to prevent their integration.
