amendment stronger?
a. they passed a law requiring jobs for all african americans.

b. they sent soldiers to the south.

c. they passed four more reconstruction laws.

d. they set aside federal money for african american education.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: There was no law requiring jobs for all African Americans during this period, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Sending soldiers to the South was part of military Reconstruction but not directly related to strengthening the Fourteenth Amendment's effect in the way described here, so B is incorrect.
• Option C: Radical Republicans passed four additional Reconstruction laws to enforce the Fourteenth Amendment (which granted citizenship and equal protection) by addressing issues like Southern governance and civil rights enforcement, making this a valid action to strengthen its effect.
• Option D: There was no widespread federal funding specifically set aside for African American education in this context to strengthen the Fourteenth Amendment, so D is incorrect.

Answer:

C. They passed four more Reconstruction laws.
