The social structure of city life during the neolithic period was very different from hunter-gatherer society, as it often restricted individual freedoms (1). at times, personal or family autonomy was replaced with the outside authority of unrelated strangers (2). to impose conformity and exert control, rules of urban life restricted behavior and limited personal choices (3). however, formal written laws did not exist until the roman empire created the twelve tables law code around 450 bc (4). which critiques the factual accuracy of the summary?

The answer is:  However, formal written laws did not exist until the Roman Empire created the Twelve Tables law code around 450 BC

Critique is made as a counter point for the intial statement. The intial statement that neolithic period restrict individual freedoms. But the individual freedoms are only limited through the creation of law around 450 BC.  Neoltihic period on the other hand started around 10,000 BC.

regarding the law, the 15th amendment was specifically designed thinking in the rights of black free men.

even though ratified on february 3, 1870, the promise of the 15th amendment would not be fully applied for a long time.poll taxes and literacy tests would allow southern states disenfranchise african americans. only in 1965 the voting rights for african americans would be actually able to vote in the south.

in 1965, president johnson signed the voting rights act, which aimed to overcome legal barriers that prevented african americans from voting as it was guaranteed by the 15th amendment to the u.s. constitution.
