Question

identify each description as applying to the one - drop rule, the blood quantum rule, or both. has had ongoing social, political, economic, and legal ramifications limited the number of people who could be considered white intended to limit the number of people who would qualify for government services replaced a previous system that assigned labels to people with multiracial identities expanded the number of people who could be considered white created arbitrary racial distinctions one - drop rule blood quantum rule both

Explanation:

• The one - drop rule and blood quantum rule have had far - reaching social, political, economic, and legal impacts, so "has had ongoing social, political, economic, and legal ramifications" applies to both.
• The one - drop rule was used to limit the number of people considered White by deeming anyone with any African ancestry non - White, so "limited the number of people who could be considered White" applies to the one - drop rule.
• The blood quantum rule was often used to limit access to government services by setting a minimum amount of "Indian blood", so "intended to limit the number of people who would qualify for government services" applies to the blood quantum rule.
• Neither rule replaced a system for multi - racial labeling in a way that is characteristic of just one of them, so "replaced a previous system that assigned labels to people with multiracial identities" applies to neither.
• Neither rule expanded the number of people considered White, so "expanded the number of people who could be considered White" applies to neither.
• Both rules created arbitrary racial distinctions by using simplistic and often inaccurate measures of ancestry, so "created arbitrary racial distinctions" applies to both.
