Answer 1

A) American Indians were denied United States citizenship.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the Federalist period, the Federalists did not believe that the American Revolution changed the social roles in American society. This means that women, Africans, and Native Americans were not allowed to vote. At that time, Native Americans were not considered Americans citizens and should be left out of the Federalist conversation.
