Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The authors of the 1876 Texas Constitution were seeking to dismantle the Reconstruction efforts of Governor E. J. Davis, which included protections for black civil rights.

Choices A and D are incorrect as segregation was actually reinforced, not ended or challenged. Choice B is also incorrect as taxpayers were not granted the right to vote on judgeships, however, this issue is not related to segregation.
