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.
