1. One discriminatory law under Jim Crow was the requirement for separate facilities, such as schools, restrooms, and restaurants, for African Americans and whites. This enforced segregation ensured that African Americans were not allowed to access the same amenities and services as their white counterparts.

2. Another discriminatory law was the practice of requiring African Americans to pay poll taxes or pass literacy tests in order to vote. These laws effectively disenfranchised African Americans and prevented them from participating in the democratic process, as many were unable to afford the tax or were denied the opportunity to prove their literacy.
