Question

use the chart to answer the question.
what was the result of the land requirements for elected officials in royal georgia?
it gave power to the salzburgers who came for religious reasons.
it permitted all members of the colony to vote for their representatives.
it gave the most power to the malcontents who paid their way to georgia.
it limited the power of the jews who were originally banned.

Explanation:

In Royal Georgia, the requirement for elected officials to own 500 acres of land meant that only those who could afford such large landholdings (like the malcontents who paid their way to Georgia and could likely acquire more land) had a better chance of being elected. This gave more power to this group compared to others. The Salzburgers (A) - there's no indication in the land requirement that it favored them. Option B is incorrect as not all members (based on the voter land requirement of 50 acres, not all could vote). Option D - the land requirement has no direct relation to limiting Jewish power (the ban on Jews was a different aspect).

Answer:

C. It gave the most power to the malcontents who paid their way to Georgia.
