Rex Holt · Answer 1

The Correct Answer is D

Explanation:

The Civil Rights Act of 1866 was the primary federal law to declare that all citizens of the US are uniformly preserved under the legislation.

The act announced that all people born in the United States were now residents of the country, without respect to race, color, or previous situation.

The Act also determined citizenship and made it unlawful to refuse any person of the rights of citizenship based on their race or color.
