Answer 1

The white legislators claimed that African Americans had the right to vote but not to hold office thus how they justify their removal of duly-elected African American legislators from the Georgia General Assembly during Reconstruction.

Explanation:

The white members of the Georgia House votes together to remove the blacks from the parliament and this cause the removal of 25 blacks out of 29 that were in politics. The senate of the Georgia removed other 3 members after 10 days of the previous removal. A total of 39 republicans voted for this agreement and the senate of Georgia House passed the amendment.

In the late era of reconstruction of the United States the white democrats went to the way of violence. The whites took help of the military forces and surpassed the black caste in the nation. Thus they regain their control over the legislature. Blacks were not allowed to get listed in any kind of voting or electing list related to the legislature of the United States.
