In 1868, the Georgia General Assembly ratified the Fourteenth Amendment, allowing re-admittance into the Union. Though this amendment granted citizenship to blacks, the House of Representatives and Senate of Georgia soon removed the black members from the Assembly.

    The correct answer is: The state constitution did NOT recognize the black citizen's right to hold public office.

    Even though the General Assembly had ratified the 14th Amendment that guaranteed citizenship and equal protection of the law to the black population, both the Senate of Georgia and the House of Representatives voted to remove black people from the General Assembly sits.
