b-slave codes eliminated the rights of enslaved people.
c-slave codes ensured that enslaved people were treated fairly.
d-slave codes ensured that slaveholders could not free enslaved workers.

The correct answer is B. Slave codes eliminated the rights of enslaved people.

Explanation

During the colonial era, the Slave Codes were documents used to remove rights to black slaves in America and ratify the rights slavers have over them. These codes of slaves arose in states in time slavery had not been legally established, therefore, the settlers and governors sought to prevent free blacks from having the same freedoms as the white population. This situation ended with the Civil War when President Abraham Lincoln radically abolished slavery. Despite this, racial discrimination continued against the black population decreasing during the 21st century. So, the correct answer is B. Slave codes eliminated the rights of enslaved people.
