1. choose the best answer.

which legislation allowed the president to deploy federal troops to protect the rights of african americans to vote?
civil rights bill of 1866
1866 freedmens bureau bill
enforcement acts
field order 15

Explanation:

• For question 12: Impeachment is the process by which a legislative body (like the Senate) brings charges against a public official (here, the president). A partisan trial refers to one influenced by political party loyalties. Disenfranchisement is taking away the right to vote. Suffrage is the right to vote. Since the context is a trial against the president for removal from office, impeachment fits.
• For question 13: The Enforcement Acts (also known as the Force Acts) were passed to enforce the Reconstruction Amendments, especially to protect African - American voting rights. The Civil Rights Bill of 1866 was about equal rights in terms of property, contracts, etc. The 1866 Freedmen's Bureau Bill was about the Freedmen's Bureau (an agency to aid freed slaves). Field Order 15 was about land redistribution.

Answer:

1. C. impeachment
2. C. Enforcement Acts
