how would enslaved people become and remain free according to section 2 of the text (marked in gray) and your knowledge?

a ○ the union army would enforce
the order and maintain their
freedom.

b ○ the confederate navy would enforce the order and
maintain their freedom.

c ○ congress would pass a law to
enforce the order and
maintain their freedom.

d ○ the chief executive of the
supreme court would enforce
the order and maintain their
freedom

Explanation:

The text (Emancipation Proclamation - related) states the Executive Government (including military) will recognize and maintain freedom. The Union Army was part of the Union's (US) military, which the Executive (Lincoln) controlled. The Confederate Navy fought for the Confederacy (opposing freedom for enslaved people), Congress isn't the enforcer here, and the Chief Executive of Supreme Court is incorrect (Supreme Court has no Chief Executive for this; the Executive branch (President) and military (Union Army) enforce. So option A matches as Union Army (part of Executive's military) enforces.

Answer:

A. The Union Army would enforce the order and maintain their freedom.
