  4. D

Cevap

The demolition of the local African Methodist Episcopal Church and the enactment of stricter laws regulating Black religious assemblies
The correct answer is correct because Denmark Vesey was a class leader in the Charleston African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church, which served as a vital institutional space for organizing the conspiracy. In the aftermath of the failed plot, white authorities targeted this autonomous space by demolishing the church building and enacting laws that strictly banned independent Black religious services and limited assembly.
