  1. A
    Sharecropping
  2. B
    De facto segregation
  3. De jure segregationCevap
  4. D
    Involuntary servitude

Cevap

De jure segregation
The correct answer is de jure segregation because 'de jure' means 'by law' in Latin. Jim Crow laws in the American South represented a formal, state-sanctioned legal framework that mandated the separation of races in schools, transportation, and public accommodations.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Define the Latin prefixes of the primary sociological terms.
Identify that 'de jure' translates to 'by law' (legal) and 'de facto' translates to 'in practice' or 'by fact'.
This establishes the fundamental distinction between segregation created by legal code versus segregation created by custom.
2
Match the scenario in the stem to the correct term.
The stem asks for segregation 'explicitly written into and enforced by state and local laws,' which is the definition of de jure segregation.
This confirms the correct term based on the criteria specified in the question.
