The court struck down portions of the Fourteenth Amendment.
C
The court ruled that discrimination in public places was illegal.
D

Explanation

In the Civil Rights Cases of 1883, the Supreme Court struck down key parts of the Civil Rights Act of 1875, which had prohibited racial discrimination in places such as hotels and theaters. The ruling limited federal power to protect Black Americans from discrimination by private businesses, supporting the goals of Southern Redeemers. So the correct choice is “The court struck down much of the Civil Rights Act of 1875.”
