The first one: Subjected to ridiculous laws, Jews were prevented from joining their Dutch friends in many social activites.

The sentence that correctly punctuates its participial phrase is A, that is, the one that reads as follows: "Subjected to ridiculous laws, Jews were prevented from joining their Dutch friends in many social activities". When participial phrases introduce the main clause, the two structures should be separated by a comma.
