Alex Lucero · Answer 1

C. the election of African Americans to serve in public office throughout the state.

Explanation:

After the fourth and fifth amendments, the state of Georgia allowed African American citizens to serve in public offices throughout the state.

This was because the fourth amendment allowed these citizens to have legal protection against search and seizure without an appropriate mandate and without reasonable reason. That is, it prevented citizens from being accused and searched only because of the color of their skin.

The fifth amendment, in turn, protected African American citizens from abuse of authority and allowed them the option to remain silent in the event of prosecution, and to ensure that they were not deprived of their rights.
