□ to protect voters from threats during elections
□ to protect the rights of white southerners
□ to prosecute members of the ku klux klan

□ to protect democrats who threatened african americans

Explanation:

The Enforcement Acts of 1870 and 1871 were aimed at combating violence and intimidation against African - American voters. The Ku Klux Klan was a major source of such violence. These acts were not about protecting white Southerners (as they often perpetrated the violence), nor were they about prosecuting Republicans (who were more likely to support African - American rights at the time) or protecting Democrats (who were often the ones causing harm to African Americans).

Answer:

• to protect voters from threats during elections
• to prosecute members of the Ku Klux Klan
