Under the Reconstruction Acts of 1867, readmission to the Union required which voting rights provision?

• A. Universal male suffrage.
• B. Literacy tests for voters.
• C. Property ownership for voting.
• D. No specific voting rights requirement.

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is how Reconstruction Acts shaped who could vote in the South as a condition for rejoining the Union. The Acts required former Confederate states to draft new constitutions that guaranteed voting rights to all adult male citizens, effectively extending the franchise to Black men. This universal male suffrage was the key provision tied to readmission, not literacy tests or property requirements, and it went beyond simply letting some groups vote. So, universal male suffrage best fits what the Acts demanded.
