#24 - Global Reference, Must Be True

[brcibake]

For this question, I was stuck between D and E. Both were strong but I did not pick E as it was referring to the latter part of the 19th century and didn't include the 20th century.
For D, the passage does discuss how dissatisfied African Americans were with their citizenship rights or lack thereof. D seemed more fitting. Why is it not right?
Thanks in advance

Hu Brcibake,

Answer choice (D) states that we would be able to tell by reading this passage whether there were any textual ambiguities in the Fourteenth Amendment that spurred the citizenship conflict for African Americans. You correctly stated that we can tell that there existed conflicts over the question of citizenship, but we have no way of knowing if this ultimately cam from a textual ambiguity in the amendment itself, or if the conflict originated elsewhere.

Let me know if this helps!
