Question

1. what is an example of a jim crow law?

requiring a literacy test to vote, when teaching african americans to read was previously illegal
pretending to provide medical treatment for blacks, secretly observing the progress of untreated diseases.
restricting access to contraception to only married couples, and criminalizing it for single women
requiring a man’s signature, ostensibly the father’s, before allowing a woman access to an abortion

Explanation:

Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation and disenfranchisement of African Americans. Requiring a literacy test to vote, when teaching African Americans to read was previously illegal, is a Jim Crow - era voter suppression tactic. The other options: the medical observation (Tuskegee experiment) is unethical medical research, not a Jim Crow law; contraception and abortion restrictions relate to gender - based reproductive laws, not Jim Crow (which was race - based).

Answer:

A. requiring a literacy test to vote, when teaching African Americans to read was previously illegal
