Question

read the excerpt from \for the era.\
the amendment would be largely self-executing—that is, any federal or state laws in conflict would be ineffective one year after date of ratification without further action by the congress or state legislatures.
which best paraphrases this excerpt?
○ being self-executing, this law would be easy to enforce because it would not require lawmakers to change any current laws.
○ the amendment would automatically repeal any state or federal laws in conflict with it after a year; no legislative action would be needed.
○ the amendment would become effective one year after the date of its ratification; no further legal action would be necessary.
○ ratifying the amendment would give state and federal legislatures an opportunity to change prejudicial laws within one year.

Explanation:

The original excerpt states the amendment is self-executing: conflicting federal/state laws become ineffective a year after ratification, with no need for legislative action. We match this to the option that accurately restates these key points: automatic invalidation of conflicting laws after a year, no legislative action required.

Answer:

The amendment would automatically repeal any state or federal laws in conflict with it after a year; no legislative action would be needed.
