the laws made it legal to discriminate against african americans.
the laws prohibited the limitation of voting rights for african americans
the laws helped ensure full participation of african americans in southern society

Explanation:

Jim Crow laws were a system of racial segregation and discrimination in the Southern United States. They enforced racial hierarchy and inequality. These laws did not make it illegal for African - Americans to own land (there were other mechanisms like sharecropping and debt peonage that affected land ownership). They did not prohibit the limitation of voting rights; in fact, they used methods like literacy tests and poll taxes to limit African - American voting. And they definitely did not ensure full participation of African - Americans in Southern society. Instead, they made racial discrimination legal, creating separate public facilities (schools, transportation, etc.) that were unequal.

Answer:

The laws made it legal to discriminate against African Americans.
