Answer

D

Explanation

The Reconstruction Constitutions were a series of constitutions enacted in the Southern American states during the period of Reconstruction (1865-1877) which followed the American Civil War. As part of these Constitutions, reforms implemented often went towards equalizing social and economic power distribution Previously, in some states, such power largely was kept within executive reach, an evaluation of each of the answer choices would yield the closest outcome to what the constitutions were purposed to. They didn't eliminate senate but they increased Black participation. On the other hand, they encouraged Black voting rather than restricting it. They might have decentralized power rather than further consolidating it in the executive.
