  2. B

  3. C

Cevap

De jure segregation
The correct term is de jure segregation because the prefix 'de jure' literally translates to 'by law,' representing the state-sanctioned segregation system established by Jim Crow laws and upheld by the Supreme Court.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the stem details to identify key characteristics.
The stem describes separation mandated by 'laws' and 'ordinances' in the Jim Crow South.
Understanding whether the separation was established by legal statutes or custom is necessary to select the correct sociological and historical term.
2
Differentiate between segregation by law and segregation by custom.
'De jure' means 'by law', while 'de facto' means 'in practice' or 'by custom'.
This differentiation isolates the term specifically applied to state-sanctioned, legally mandated separation.
