Respuesta :

Anyone ever figure out his answer?

Answer:

C) Congress forced the former confederate states to apply the bill of rights to rejoin the union

Explanation:

Beginning in the early 1900's, the Supreme Court said that the 14th Amendment means that the Bill of Rights applies to state governments as well. It does this because it says that states cannot deprive people of their "liberty" without due process of the law.
