Using an active voice for the majority of your sentences makes your meaning clear for readers, and keeps the sentences from becoming too complicated or wordy. Passive voice makes sentences wordier and can cloud the meaning of your sentence.

In these examples the use of passive voice can be replaced by active voice by removing extra words like 'been' and re-arranging the sentence structure.

Here are the rewritten sentences:

The thieves have been arrested by the police.

Remove 'been' and 'by' then switch 'police' with 'thieves'.

The police have arrested the thieves.

The marvelous performance delivered by the children enthralled us.

Remove 'delivered by the children'

The marvelous performance enthralled us.

He has been invited to their party.

Remove 'he has' replace with 'they have'

They have invited him to their party.

We have shipped your order.

Simplify the sentence to only have a verb and a subject.

The order has shipped.

The girl recited the poem beautifully.

Replace 'The girl' with 'she'

She recited the poem beautifully.

Why did Mississippi likely make it legally ro promote racial equality

Ksenya-84 [330]

Anti-miscegenation laws were a part of American law since before the United States was established and remained so until ruled unconstitutional in 1967 by the U.S Supreme Cort in Loving v.Virginia . The term miscegenation was the American Civil War, by American journalists to discredit the abolitionist movement by stirring up debate over the prospect of interracial marriage after the abolition of slavery. In those of the original Thirteen Colonies that became states and enacted such laws, they were enacted as state law in the early 18th century; a century or more after the.complete racialism of slavery.
