The act is called the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

This act, signed into law by Lyndon B. Johnson, helped to remove legal barriers that African-Americans faced when it came to voting. For example, African-Americans were unfair targets of things like literacy tests, poll taxes, and the grandfather clause. All three of these barriers were put in place to limit the amount of African-American citizens voting in local, state, and national elections.

This law ensured that African-Americans received the same protection guaranteed to them under the 15th amendment.

Under what circumstances should government be able to limit natural rights?​
ira [324]

Answer:

It depends on where you are a citizen, like the US or Ireland. I’ll assume you mean the US. In any case that the government needs to limit one of the Americans Citizens Natural Rights, it’s most likely that they’re trying to protect the citizens. Although it’s probably very unlikely that this will ever happen. If it ever does, they’ll basically be breaking the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Which is technically not allowed.

Defend the following statement: The Canal System had a negative impact on the South.
devlian [24]

The construction of the British canal system was key in the industrialization of these territories. However, in comparison to the canals up north of the UK, there were some canals that were not connected to the system in the south. The purpose of them was to serve the local industries in England and Wales. However, these were largely unutilized due to the preference from people towards other methods of transportation.
