Rachael Downs · Answer 1

d. declared constitutional

Explanation:

The Civil Rights Act of 1875 was also known as the Enforcement Act. This law was enacted by the United States Federal government during the reconstruction period which was in response to the violation of civil rights against the African Americans.

This act protects all the citizens in their legal and civil rights. But this law failed a lasting effect. The Supreme court ruled the Civil Rights Act of 1875 as unconstitutional in 1883.

Hence the correct options is (d).
