Answer:

Enacting new slave code

Step-by-step explanation:

Recognizing the growing of what was believed the importance of slavery, the House of Burgesses in 1705 enacted a new slave code, bringing together the scattered legislation of the previous century and adding new provisions that embedded the principle of white supremacy in the law. Some of the "reason/their idea for slavery* was Christianity. And that Christianity was pushed onto slaves and using it as a law.
