The correct answre is: "the act was enacted to outlaw discriminatory voting practices against black citizens that functioned in many Southern States".

In the United States, after the enactment of the Reconstruction Amendments (after the Civil War), which guaranteed equality of rights for all US citizens, many Southern states tried to circumvent such provisions with the enactment of the so-called Jim Crow laws. These contained many regulations that prevented many black citizens from access to vote in practice, by setting requirements such as literacy test or a minimum income level.

All these practices were ended with the enactment of the Voting Rights Act in 1965 that <u>prohibits racial discrimination in voting and which derogated the whole Jim Crow legal system. </u>

Answer:

the act was enacted to outlaw discriminatory voting practices against black citizens that functioned in many Southern States

Explanation:

There were numerous kinds of problems faced by African Americans to enter the political system. The poll tax, literacy test and other bureaucratic restrictions combined with violence against African Americans brought the issue to the national stage. To overcome these problems these taxes were abolished and federal agents were appointed to strengthen the participation of African Americans in the political process.

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

<h3>The Senate Republicans rejected certain provisions of the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations.</h3>

Explanation:

  • When President Wilson proposed for the Treaty of Versailles and an international organization which he believed would govern international relations and interactions, it was rejected by the the allied forces as well by the Senate Republicans.
  • The Republican Senate leader, Henry Cobot Lodge was very skeptical about Wilson's proposal for the treaty. The Senate Republicans were against certain provisions of the treaty which they believed would hamper U.S's interest in world politics and economy.
  • Lodge, therefore, proposed for certain reservations or exemptions and amendments in the provisions in the treaty which would enhance U.S's interest in the world politics.
  • Wilson's failure to address Lodge's proposals in the treaty led Senate Republicans to vote against the treaty and consequently U.S failed to join the League of Nations.

What was one government reform enacted by the Tang Dynasty
ELEN [110]
Hope this helps 
One government reform enacted in the Chinese Tang dynasty was its emphasis on education. It was one of the reforms that contributed the dynasty’s success. The Tang rulers did not feel that a well-educated people is a threat to the government. For the rulers, an educated public is a foundation of a stable and prosperous society.  Unlike other forms of government who feared intellectuals, the Tang dynasty embraced knowledge and education, thus, encouraging its people to have a form of education.<span> </span>
