  A) ruled that where civil courts were functioning, civilians could not be tried by military courts or commissions.
  B) argued that Congress had the power to ensure each state a republican form of government.
  C) chipped away at the Fourteenth Amendment by saying it only protected the basic rights of national citizenship, not rights that fell to citizens by virtue of their state citizenship.
  D) decided that the Fifteenth Amendment did not confer the right of suffrage upon anyone.
  E) ruled that congressional Reconstruction governments were unconstitutional because they had been forced upon the south.
