Question 6 of 10Which group was included in the Naturalization Law of 1790?A.Free or enslaved BlacksB.Free white peopleC.People of mixed raceD.All of the above

Answer to Question 6

The Naturalization Law of 1790 in the United States allowed for the naturalization of "free white persons" who had been residents of the country for at least two years. Specifically, this law excluded both free or enslaved Blacks and people of mixed race from the eligibility for citizenship. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is:

B. Free white people

This law marked a significant moment in U.S. history as it established a racial criterion for citizenship, which had long-lasting implications for immigration and naturalization policies in the country. This exclusion of non-white individuals from citizenship reflected the prevailing attitudes of that era regarding race and citizenship.
