Answer
Indigénat Code matches the arbitrary penal decree permitting summary punishment without trial; Four Communes matches the Senegalese coastal urban enclaves with political rights; Policy of Association matches the pragmatic doctrine respecting local traditions; Originaires matches the African inhabitants born in the Senegalese communes with voting rights.
Each French colonial concept is paired correctly with its legal and administrative definition. The Indigénat Code provided summary administrative penalties over subjects; the Four Communes were the Senegalese towns where citizenship applied; the Policy of Association was the pragmatic reform working through traditional institutions; and Originaires were the native-born citizens of the four communes.
