Question refers to the excerpts below.

"that on the first day of january, in the year of our lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-three, all persons held as slaves within any state or designated part of a state, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the united states, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free."—from the emancipation proclamation, 1863

"neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the united states, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."—from the 13th amendment to the united states constitution, 1865

what role did these documents play in the civil war?

the emancipation proclamation forced african americans to enlist in the union army, but the 13th amendment rescinded the order.

the emancipation proclamation freed all slaves in theory, but the 13th amendment was needed before abolition could be enforced.

the emancipation proclamation changed the purpose of the war to abolishing slavery, and the ratification of the 13th amendment accomplished that goal.

the emancipation proclamation led to southern secession, and the states that seceded had to accept the 13th amendment before rejoining the union.

Answer is Option B: The Emancipation Proclamation freed all slaves in theory, but the 13th Amendment was needed before abolition could be enforced.

Explanation:

“The Proclamation of Emancipation” was made by President “Abraham Lincoln”.  The Proclamation supported freedom of slaves in U.S. The Proclamation held that all the slaves in the state of rebel shall be held as free forever. This was announced during the Civil war. It came into effect from 1863. However, Lincoln felt that to completely abolish slavery in all of U.S. (because few states who rejoined Union before 1863 retained slavery), Lincoln promoted the “Thirteenth Amendment”. Reconstruction plans for Southern states were insisted so that slavery is abolished in the new state constitutions. Then, “Thirteenth Amendment” was passed in 1865.

Hence, Option B is the correct statement.

explanation:

actually, not all representation was acceptable based on this little piece of article, in 1776, the second continental congress issued the declaration of independence, stating their specific grievances with the british monarchy and why they were going to create a separate government. after the colonies separated from the british monarchy and formed the united states of america, they had to answer some crucial questions: 1) if not a monarchy, what type of government was the united states going to have? 2) what kind of government was going to protect the people without violating their individual liberties?

can you explain it better
