Hmm, let's see... the South Carolina constitution of 1868 was different from previous state constitutions in that representation was based on population alone. So, now instead of playing rock-paper-scissors to determine representation, they just counted heads!

As for how Republican control of South Carolina affected the state, well, they definitely didn't become master party planners and organize awesome parties for everyone. Instead, they focused on opening several schools to teach freedmen, like the pen school. I guess they weren't clowning around when it came to education!

To determine how the South Carolina constitution of 1868 was different from previous state constitutions, you can compare its key provisions to those of earlier constitutions.

Option A) "Women lost their right to own property" is incorrect. In fact, the South Carolina constitution of 1868 granted property rights to women, which was a significant departure from previous state constitutions that often restricted property ownership to men.

Option B) "Representation was based on population alone" is the correct answer. The South Carolina constitution of 1868 introduced a new system for representation based solely on population, unlike earlier constitutions that had allocated representation based on a combination of population numbers, wealth, and other factors.

Option C) "Counties and districts were organized into parishes" is incorrect. The organization of counties and districts into parishes was not a change introduced by the South Carolina constitution of 1868 but rather a feature of earlier state constitutions, specifically the ones influenced by colonial South Carolina's Anglican Church.

Option D) "Education became the responsibility of local governments" is also incorrect. The South Carolina constitution of 1868 did not explicitly assign education to local governments. However, it did establish the South Carolina State Board of Education, indicating a centralized approach to education.

Moving on to the impact of Republican control of South Carolina, let's evaluate the options:

Option A) "The Republicans improved relations between freedmen and white southerners" is incorrect. While the Republican Party aimed to promote the rights and interests of freedmen (enslaved African Americans who were freed after the Civil War), achieving better relations between freedmen and white southerners was a complex and challenging task. The overall impact on relations would depend on various factors and the specific individuals involved.

Option B) "The Republicans kicked out carpetbaggers and scalawags" is also incorrect. Carpetbaggers and scalawags were terms used derogatorily against individuals, usually Northerners, who were seen as opportunistic during the Reconstruction era in the South. The Republicans, as a political party, did not explicitly target these individuals for expulsion.

Option C) "The Republicans increased taxes and spending in order to rebuild after the Civil War" is correct. Republican control of South Carolina did involve increased taxation and spending to fund the state's reconstruction efforts after the Civil War. This approach aimed to help rebuild infrastructure, support education, and address the needs of formerly enslaved individuals.

Option D) "The Republicans opened several schools to teach freedmen, including the pen school" is the correct answer. The establishment of schools, including the famous Penn School, was indeed a key initiative of the Republican Party during Reconstruction. These schools aimed to provide education opportunities for freedmen and other marginalized communities.

In summary, the correct answers are:

1) How was the South Carolina constitution of 1868 different from previous state constitutions?
The correct answer is B) Representation was based on population alone.

2) How did Republican control of South Carolina affect the state?
The correct answer is D) The Republicans opened several schools to teach freedmen, including the Penn School.

Both are right.
